LBPD Arrest Murder Suspect in Long Beach. On Octob

LBPD Arrest Murder Suspect in Long Beach. On October 5, 2020, at approximately 2:15 p.m., detectives searching for a murder suspect attempted a traffic stop on a suspect from the August 4, 2020 murder of 40-year-old Juan Moreno of Long Beach. When detectives initiated the traffic stop in the area of 7th Street and Rose Avenue, the vehicle fled and failed to yield, resulting in a short vehicle pursuit. Within a minute of the pursuit being initiated, the suspect vehicle collided with two other vehicles, one occupied and one parked in the 900 block of Cerritos Avenue. The driver then fled from detectives on foot through the residential neighborhood. Detectives observed the suspect holding a firearm in his hand as he ran. No injuries were reported as a result of the collision.

Detectives pursued the suspect on foot until he was apprehended without incident on the 1200 block of East 8th Street. Detectives located the discarded firearm in a private yard adjacent to Craftsman Village Park. The loaded firearm will be processed by the Long Beach Police Department’s Forensic Sciences Division. Through their investigation, detectives learned the victim and suspect were involved in an altercation with each other prior to the shooting and were known to each other.

The suspect has been identified as 48-year-old Richard Young of Long Beach. He was booked on one count of murder and one count of ex-felon in possession of a firearm and is currently being held in the Long Beach City jail on $2,000,000 bail.

The case will be presented to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration later this week.

City of Long Beach Issues Guidance for Celebrating

City of Long Beach Issues Guidance for Celebrating Halloween Safely. As residents begin to plan for the upcoming holiday season beginning with Halloween, the City is providing guidance for celebrating safely, including safer alternatives that still promote a festive environment amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Halloween activities that are allowed, in adherence with the City’s Safer at Home Order and related protocols, include:

Online parties/contests (e.g., costume or pumpkin carving).
Car parades, such as drive-by events or contests.
Halloween movie nights at drive-in theaters.
Halloween-themed meals at outdoor restaurants.
Halloween-themed art installations at outdoor museums.
Dressing up homes and yards with Halloween themed decorations.
Halloween activities that are not allowed include:

Halloween gatherings, events or parties with non-household members, even if conducted outdoors.
Carnivals, festivals, live entertainment and haunted house attractions.
Door-to-door trick-or-treating should also be avoided as it can be very difficult to maintain proper physical distancing, ensure that everyone is appropriately masked to prevent disease spread and because sharing food is not recommended. “Trunk-or- treating,” where children go from car-to-car instead of door-to-door to receive treats, is also not recommended as it can be challenging to avoid crowding and sharing food.

It is also important to keep the following precautions in mind when celebrating Halloween and other upcoming holidays:

Always wear a cloth face covering when outside and when around others that are not part of your household.
Avoid confined spaces. Actively stay away from indoor spaces that do not allow for easy distancing of at least six feet.
Avoid close contact with others. Stay at least six feet away from all other people who are not part of your own household, especially while talking, eating, drinking and singing.
Wash or sanitize your hands often.
Clean frequently touched items regularly.
If you are sick, or if you have been in contact with someone who is sick with COVID-19 or has symptoms of COVID-19, stay home and away from others.

Fatal Traffic Collision on PCH in Long Beach. On T

Fatal Traffic Collision on PCH in Long Beach. On Tuesday at 5:00 p.m., Long Beach Police officers were dispatched to the area of Pacific Coast Highway, south of Loynes Drive, regarding an injury traffic collision, which resulted in the death of a male adult. When LBPD officers arrived they located four vehicles that had been involved in the collision. Six occupants of these vehicles were transported by the Long Beach Fire Department to local hospitals. One subject was determined deceased at the scene.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2015 Nissan Altima driven by a 31-year-old resident of the City of Norwalk, was traveling southbound Pacific Coast Highway at a high rate of speed. The driver of the Nissan swerved into oncoming traffic striking a 1994 Nissan Truck driven by a 63-year-old resident of Long Beach. The Nissan Altima continued southbound in the northbound lanes of Pacific Coast Highway, striking a 2010 Toyota Prius, which was traveling northbound Pacific Coast Highway, driven by a 58-year-old resident of Long Beach. This impact caused the Prius to be pushed into the southbound lanes of Pacific Coast Highway and was then struck by a 2008 Honda Pilot traveling southbound Pacific Coast Highway.

Three of the four occupants of the Nissan Altima were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. The two occupants of the Prius were transported to a local hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The only occupant of the Honda Pilot was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

The Long Beach Fire Department treated a fourth occupant of the Nissan Altima at the scene. Despite life-saving measures, the 30-year-old resident of Los Angeles succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

All drivers remained on scene and cooperated with the investigation. The drivers of the Prius, Honda, and Nissan truck were released at the scene.

The driver of the Nissan Altima, 31-year-old Mario Medrano, resident of the City of Norwalk, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and murder. #longbeach
