Two Arrested in Death of 14-Month-Old Girl in Long Two Arrested in Death of 14-Month-Old Girl in Long Beach LONG BEACH, Calif. — Homicide detectives have arrested two suspects in connection with the child abuse and death of a 14-month-old girl, authorities announced. On Nov. 7, 2025, officers responded to a local hospital after receiving a report of a possible child abuse incident involving an unresponsive toddler who showed signs of trauma. Child Abuse detectives responded and coordinated with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) as part of the investigation. Later that same day, medical staff informed investigators that the child had been placed on life support and was not expected to survive. Homicide detectives joined the investigation, working alongside Child Abuse detectives, DCFS, and patrol officers. The child died on Nov. 10, 2025. Her identity is being withheld due to her age. According to investigators, a two-week investigation determined the child had been subjected to ongoing abuse and that her death was the result of injuries inflicted by her father and stepmother. On Nov. 25, 2025, detectives arrested both suspects and booked them into the Long Beach City Jail with no bail: • Alfredo Munoz, 40, of Long Beach, booked on suspicion of murder, torture, and child abuse causing death. • Kelly Munoz, 34, of Long Beach, booked on suspicion of murder, torture, and child abuse causing death. Detectives plan to present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office next week for filing consideration. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact authorities.
Fatal Three-Vehicle Crash Under Investigation in L Fatal Three-Vehicle Crash Under Investigation in Long Beach LONG BEACH, Calif. — Police are investigating a fatal three-vehicle collision that occurred Saturday evening, Nov. 22, 2025, at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and East San Antonio Drive. Officers responded to the scene at approximately 6:57 p.m. and located an unconscious male driver inside a 2005 Nissan Altima in the northbound lanes of Long Beach Boulevard. Officers immediately began life-saving measures until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived and took over care. Despite those efforts, the driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. Preliminary findings indicate the Nissan Altima was traveling northbound at a high rate of speed when it rear-ended a 2018 Jeep Cherokee.

The drivers of both the Jeep Cherokee and the Chevrolet Suburban remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Authorities say speed and possible impaired driving are being investigated as contributing factors in the crash.

Rogelio Martinez launches his 2026 Long Beach mayo Rogelio Martinez launches his 2026 Long Beach mayoral campaign with a bold call for new leadership and a strong future. Citing declining petroleum revenue, strained police resources, and deteriorating infrastructure, he pledges transparency and monthly town halls to engage residents and opponents to work together and make Long Beach a safer community. Here is a statement released by the Rogelio Martinez for Long Beach Mayor 2026: Today’s the day that my plan is put in motion for the future of Long Beach, California. Mr Rex Richardson has taken us far but now it’s time for the leadership to change. Long Beach is losing the petroleum that once sustained its economy. The men and women who serve on the LBPD are overworked, underpaid and under appreciated. The infrastructure that maintains our roads is outdated and expensive to operate. That’s why Long Beach is plagued with the worst potholes in the country. I will schedule monthly town hall meetings on the first Monday of every month leading up to the primary elections. I will invite Rex Richardson, Joshua Rodriguez and Lee Goldin to participate in open forum discussions. Save the date Monday, December 1st Location TBD Time TBD #VoteRogelioMartinezLBC2026

19-Year-Old Nursing Student Killed in Parking Lot 19-Year-Old Nursing Student Killed in Parking Lot Accident LONG BEACH, CA — A 19-year-old Long Beach woman died after she was run over by a driver backing out of a parking stall while she walked with her mother on Nov. 2, according to police and a fundraiser created for her family. Officers were dispatched around 3:55 p.m. to the 2200 block of Bellflower Boulevard, where they found the victim, later identified as Grace Edwards, suffering from severe upper-body injuries. Long Beach Fire Department personnel provided aid and rushed her to a local hospital in critical condition. On Nov. 5, she succumbed to her injuries. Investigators say Edwards was walking through the parking lot when a 2015 Lexus IS250 struck her as it exited a parking space. The driver, a 39-year-old Long Beach resident, remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. Distracted driving is believed to be a contributing factor. Grace’s family described the community as “completely heartbroken.” They shared that she was a vibrant, carefree young woman, a loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend, and nursing student who dedicated herself to caring for children in her church and community. She especially loved time outdoors and moments spent with her close-knit family. The family also revealed Grace’s final act of generosity. The night before the accident, she had discussed becoming an organ donor with her parents. When doctors confirmed she would not survive, her family honored her wishes. On Nov. 9, surrounded by loved ones and hospital staff, Grace was given an Honor Walk before entering the operating room. Her heart was donated to an 8-year-old child. Loved ones say her legacy of kindness, service, and compassion will continue to impact others for years to come. A GoFundMe has been created to support the Edwards family during this devastating time. All funds raised will go directly to her family.

Second-Alarm Fire Damages Long Beach’s Casa Sanche Second-Alarm Fire Damages Long Beach’s Casa Sanchez Restaurant Long Beach, Calif. — A second-alarm fire broke out early Thursday morning at the popular Casa Sanchez restaurant in East Long Beach, causing significant damage and prompting a large emergency response. According to the Long Beach Fire Department, crews were dispatched around 6:57 a.m. after reports of heavy smoke and flames coming from the back of the restaurant, located near East Anaheim Street and Termino Avenue. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered intense heat and a possible gas leak, prompting the response to be upgraded to a second alarm. Firefighters brought the blaze under control by approximately 7:11 a.m. Crews remained on scene for several hours to ensure all hot spots were extinguished and to investigate the source of the fire. No injuries were reported among employees or emergency personnel. Investigators are still working to determine what caused the fire, including whether the reported gas leak played a role. Casa Sanchez has been a community staple since 1975, known for its Sonoran-style dishes such as carne asada, wet burritos, and nachos. Aguirre said his phone has been flooded with messages from loyal customers offering support and encouragement. Fire officials said nearby residents may continue to see emergency crews in the area as inspections and cleanup continue. Streets around East Anaheim and Termino could experience brief closures while investigators complete their work. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Long Beach Hospital Seeks Public’s Help to Identif Long Beach Hospital Seeks Public’s Help to Identify Unknown Patient Long Beach, CA — MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying an unknown man who has been receiving treatment at the hospital for several weeks following a possible hit-and-run accident. According to hospital officials, the man was brought to the medical center on October 23 after being found near Long Beach Boulevard and the 710 Freeway. He was admitted without any identification or personal documents. The patient is described as a Hispanic male in his 60s, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing around 200 pounds, with silver-gray hair and brown eyes. Hospital staff and social workers have made repeated efforts to identify the man but have so far been unable to locate any family members or contacts. Anyone who recognizes the individual or has information that may assist in identifying him is urged to contact MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center’s Emergency Department Social Work at 562-743-9507. Images of the man have been released to aid in the identification effort. The hospital is asking the community to help share this message widely so that the patient’s loved ones can be located.
Judge Rules Long Beach’s Early Measure A Tax Hike Judge Rules Long Beach’s Early Measure A Tax Hike Unconstitutional, City Accused of Misleading Public In a major embarrassment for Long Beach City Hall, a Sacramento Superior Court judge has ruled that Long Beach’s attempt to raise Measure A sales taxes two years ahead of schedule was unconstitutional, saving residents roughly $48 million over two years. On Friday, November 7, 2025, Judge Stephen Acquisto ruled that the city’s December 2024 “emergency” ordinance to begin collecting the higher tax in April 2025 violated the California Constitution’s Proposition 218, which requires voter approval for any local tax increase. The Long Beach Reform Coalition (LBRC) filed the lawsuit in February 2025, arguing that the City Council’s move undermined the legally voter-approved timeline in Measure A. Councilmembers Zendejas, Allen, Duggan, Kerr, Saro, and Ricks-Oddie all voted for the early increase, relying on City Attorney Dawn McIntosh’s assurance that it was “legally sound.” But court filings reveal the city already knew the state would not approve the plan. Documents show that by late November 2024 two weeks before the City Council vote the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) had warned McIntosh and the City Manager that starting the tax early would be unconstitutional. That crucial fact was never disclosed to the public or the council before the vote. The ruling not only invalidates the city’s early tax ordinance but raises deeper questions: Why did city leaders proceed with a vote after being told by the state their plan was illegal? Why wasn’t that information shared publicly? And can Long Beach residents trust City Hall’s legal guidance moving forward? City Attorney McIntosh who faces re-election in 2026 could see the issue return to the ballot box. Critics argue her advice cost taxpayers legal fees and eroded public trust. As Long Beach heads toward another election cycle, residents are left asking: Who at City Hall is truly working for the people and who’s just spinning the truth?

All victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and investigations are ongoing.

A male adult victim was involved in an altercation in the 1000 block of Long Beach Boulevard, where he was stabbed by another male adult suspect. The victim received treatment for minor injuries, and the suspect remains unidentified. Later that evening, at approximately 11:25 p.m., another stabbing occurred in the 1100 block of Queens Highway. A male and female adult were assaulted by three male suspects. The male victim was stabbed with an unknown object, and the female sustained injuries from the assault. Both self-transported to a hospital; suspects are still being identified. On Saturday, November 1, at about 4:20 p.m., police responded to a shots-fired call in the 1000 block of Gaviota Avenue. Four male victims (adults and juveniles) were outside when an unknown male suspect fired shots nearby. No one was hit, but evidence was collected. The motive is unknown. Finally, on Sunday, November 2, at 9:32 p.m., a hit shooting was reported initially in the 1100 block of Raymond Avenue but traced to the 2300 block of East Anaheim Street. A male adult victim was shot in the upper body by an unknown male suspect who fled. The victim was transported to a hospital by Long Beach Fire Department.

$23 Million Motel Makeover: Long Beach Turns Luxur $23 Million Motel Makeover: Long Beach Turns Luxury Inn into Homeless Housing at $296K Per Room Long Beach, CA — Nearly three years after purchasing the Luxury Inn for $16.6 million, the City of Long Beach unveiled its transformation into Homekey at 5950, a 78-unit interim housing site designed to help homeless people transition into permanent homes. The total project cost now reported by Long Beach Post at $23.1 million, or roughly $296,000 per room, raises questions about whether this is the best use of taxpayer dollars. The city hosted another ribbon-cutting on Oct. 29, celebrating the $6.5 million renovation, which included major structural repairs, new flooring, drapes, appliances, and a pastel blue and gray exterior. The facility will begin welcoming residents next month, with an estimated annual operating cost of $2.3 million. That breaks down to about $2,457 a room, per month. Each room features a bed, dresser, television, refrigerator, microwave, and private bathroom. Residents may stay up to a year as they work toward employment, health care access, and permanent housing. The site will be managed by nonprofit First to Serve, which enforces a nightly curfew and offers case management, meals, and mental health support. The building’s past tells a different story. Once considered one of Long Beach’s most problematic motels, logging more than 800 crimes, including a murder, between 2014 and 2017, it was plagued by mold, rot, faulty plumbing, and safety hazards. Renovation delays added months to the project timeline. The facility is part of Project Homekey, a statewide program converting old motels into housing for the unhoused. City officials tout the program’s compassion-driven mission, but some residents question the escalating costs and long timelines. With $23 million spent to create 78 temporary housing rooms, critics are asking: Is this truly a sustainable, cost-effective solution, or is Long Beach paying luxury prices for temporary fixes?

Approved unanimously by the Long Beach City Council on Oct. 14, the agreement extends JetZero’s lease on 16.5 acres at the airport through 2059, with an option for a five-year renewal.

While the company’s first production site will be in Greensboro, North Carolina, its Design Center will remain in Long Beach, the heart of its innovation. “Long Beach has always been at the heart of JetZero’s innovation, and we’re proud to continue designing the future of flight right here at our Design Center,” said Tom O’Leary, JetZero CEO and co-founder. “Long Beach remains our home for advanced concepts and breakthrough aircraft design. This lease extension gives us the stability to invest in our team and facilities in Long Beach, ensuring we keep one foot firmly planted on Space Beach as we redefine what’s possible in aviation.” “This long-term lease secures JetZero’s future here at Long Beach Airport and highlights the unique environment we provide for aerospace companies to thrive,” said Airport Director Cynthia Guidry. “JetZero’s investment demonstrates confidence in LGB as a place where aviation innovation takes flight.” Ranked the second-best airport in the nation by The Washington Post, Long Beach Airport continues to be a cornerstone of Southern California aviation, connecting travelers to 21 nonstop destinations and nearly 400 cities worldwide.
Long Beach Faces String of Shootings, Stabbings, a Long Beach Faces String of Shootings, Stabbings, and Homicides Long Beach has faced another violent month, with three homicides and several shootings and assaults in October, leaving residents demanding stronger action from city leaders. The latest violence erupted early Saturday, Oct. 25, with two shootings occurring within an hour. Around 12:30 a.m., officers responded to 1200 block of East 4th Street near a bar, where a man was shot in the head. Police provided aid until paramedics took him to a hospital. Just over an hour later, at 1:42 a.m., officers were called to a hit shooting near La Verne Avenue south of Second Street. Despite CPR efforts, the victim died at the scene, the city’s third homicide this month. Those incidents followed a violent Thursday, Oct. 23, when police handled two shootings and a stabbing within 24 hours. Around 8:48 p.m., gunfire erupted on the 300 block of Coronado Avenue after a man shot at another before both fled. An hour later, a man believed to be homeless was fatally shot near the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in the 5300 block of Cherry Avenue. Earlier that morning, a stabbing in the 100 block of West 1st Street injured a man and led to the arrest of 42-year-old Matthew Chapman, who police say was also homeless. In the days surrounding these attacks, police investigated a string of additional violent crimes: • Oct. 22: A man shot and wounded on Pacific Avenue. • Oct. 21: A domestic assault on Wesley Drive left a man injured. • Oct. 20: A man shot on Olive Avenue; a female suspect was arrested. • Oct. 18: A man slashed with a bladed weapon on Peterson Avenue. • Oct. 17: Bullets struck a home on Ackerfield Avenue; a pedestrian was killed in a separate traffic crash on Pacific Coast Highway. • Oct. 12–14: Two shootings — including a fatal one on Falcon Avenue and several “no-hit” shootings citywide. While some arrests have been made, many cases remain unsolved. The violence has renewed concern over public safety and pressure on City Hall. What more can Mayor Rex Richardson and city leaders do to restore safety, and why do Mayors rarely speak publicly about the city’s rising violent crime?

Hundreds Rally in Long Beach for “No Kings” Protes Hundreds Rally in Long Beach for “No Kings” Protest Against Trump Administration Policies LONG BEACH — Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Long Beach on Saturday, October 18, as part of the nationwide “No Kings” protests opposing President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. The event was one of roughly 40 demonstrations held across Los Angeles County, with additional rallies taking place in nearby cities. Organizers of the “No Kings” movement said participants were protesting a range of issues, including immigration enforcement by masked agents, the separation of migrant families, gerrymandered congressional maps, healthcare access, and the rising cost of living. This marked the second wave of “No Kings” demonstrations this year, as organizers continue efforts to “push back” against Trump-era policies, particularly the immigration raids that ramped up across Southern California over the summer. Among those in attendance were Congressman and former Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia and current Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, both of whom voiced support for the peaceful demonstration and its message. “Proud of our Long Beach community for showing up, speaking out, and demonstrating peacefully today at the No Kings Rally,” Richardson said. “In America, we don’t have kings or queens — we have elected leaders chosen by the people, for the people.” Garcia echoed that sentiment, celebrating the city’s turnout and political engagement. “NO KINGS in Long Beach. So proud of our city for turning out and opposing Trump,” Garcia said. “People are fired up and tons of YES support for Prop 50. Let’s go!” As of Saturday evening, organizers had not announced the next steps for the movement, but many participants said they plan to continue demonstrating in the weeks ahead to advocate for democratic values and accountability in government.
