Checkpoint Friday Night by LBPD in Long Beach. To

Checkpoint Friday Night by LBPD in Long Beach.

Tonight Long Beach Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence checkpoint from 6:00 p.m.- 2:00 a.m. in the West Division.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Lt. Jose Flores said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.”

The Long Beach Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Police investigate shooting of 2 minors, one fatal

Police investigate shooting of 2 minors, one fatal.

On Tuesday, at 11:32 p.m., Long Beach police officers were dispatched to the 2200 block of Lewis Avenue regarding a hit shooting, which resulted in the death of a 12-year-old boy and injuries to a 14-year-old girl.

Upon arrival, officers contacted three victims, a 12-year-old male victim with a life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body, a 14-year-old female victim with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the lower body, and an uninjured 13-year-old female victim. Both victims were transported to local hospitals by Long Beach Fire Department personnel. The 12-year-old boy succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The 14-year-old girl was treated for a non-life-threatening injury.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene and initiated an investigation. The preliminary investigation revealed that the victims were walking on the sidewalk when they were approached by the suspect vehicle, containing at least two male suspects. An unknown number of suspects shot at the victims.

“The shooting that took place last night is devastating. A young boy’s life has been cut short due to an intolerable act of gun violence”, said Chief Wally Hebeish. “While we mourn this loss as a community, our officers will not stop working to locate and arrest those responsible for this tragedy.”

The decedent has been identified as 12-year-old Eric Gregory Brown III of Long Beach.

We urge anyone with information to contact Homicide Detectives Michael Hubbard or Jesus Espinoza at (562) 570-7244. Anonymous tips may be submitted through “LA Crime Stoppers” by calling 800-222-TIPS (8477), downloading the “P3 Tips” app to your smartphone (available at the Apple app store or Google Play), or by visiting www.lacrimestoppers.org.

Sewage Spill Close Beaches in Long Beach. Long B

Sewage Spill Close Beaches in Long Beach.

Long Beach City Health Officer, Dr. Anissa Davis, ordered all open coastal swimming areas in Long Beach temporarily closed for water contact due to a sewage spill. State law requires temporary closure and posting at beaches in these situations, out of an abundance of caution, until the water quality meets State requirements.

According to a report received today from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and from the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, approximately 250,000 gallons of sewage was spilled in nearby Downey. The spill report indicated that this was a result of sewer main line overflow caused by a blockage.

Water from the Los Angeles River connects to the Pacific Ocean in Long Beach, which means pollution anywhere upriver can affect the coastal waters of the City. Long Beach has approximately seven miles of public beach. The City of Long Beach Health Department’s Recreational Water Quality health inspection team is monitoring water quality along the affected beach sites. Water monitoring will continue until results comply with State water quality standards.

People can call the Water Hotline at (562) 570-4199 or visit longbeach.gov/beachwaterquality for the latest status on Long Beach recreational beach water quality.
To protect the safety of the public, water samples are collected and tested routinely to monitor bacterial levels. For their safety, the community is encouraged to pay close attention to any warning signs posted at the beach.

Shooting Suspect Shot by Police near Grand Prix of

Shooting Suspect Shot by Police near Grand Prix of Long Beach.

On Sunday just as thousands of people were leaving the Grand Prix of Long Beach, a call of gunshots was reported. A Long Beach police officer on patrol heard shots when he located a suspect matching the suspect description, and an officer-involved shooting occurred.

At approximately 4:44 p.m., as officers were responding to reports of a shooting at 3rd Street and Elm Avenue, Police Dispatch aired a description of the suspect. An officer on patrol near Ocean Boulevard and Elm Avenue heard shots and located a male matching the suspect description. The officer attempted to contact the suspect at which point an officer-involved shooting occurred.

The preliminary investigation indicates the suspect fired shots at the officer.

The suspect sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body. Officers rendered medical aid until the arrival of the Long Beach Fire Department, who transported the suspect to a local hospital.

A firearm was recovered. No officers were injured.

The officer was equipped with a body-worn camera (BWC), however, the BWC was not activated until after the officer-involved shooting occurred. LBPD is in the process of reviewing the footage and will make that available to the public as soon as possible.
