Off-duty Long Beach Police Officer Killed in Crash

Off-duty Long Beach Police Officer Killed in Crash.

On Thursday, June 4, 2020, at approximately 2:25 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of 7th Place and Ocean Boulevard regarding a traffic collision involving a vehicle and a motorcyclist, which resulted in the death of a male adult.

When they arrived on scene, officers located the motorcyclist on the ground with substantial injuries. Long Beach Fire Department paramedics transported him to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the motorcyclist was traveling eastbound on Ocean Boulevard when the driver of a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee made a left turn from 7th Place to westbound Ocean Avenue. The motorcyclist was unable to stop in time and struck the side of the Jeep. Several bystanders rushed to aid the injured motorcyclist until emergency personnel arrived. The driver of the Jeep remained at the scene and is cooperating in the ongoing investigation.
The motorcyclist has been identified as 33-year old Anton Fischer of Long Beach. Fischer is a three-year veteran of the Long Beach Police Department and was on his way to work at the time of the collision.
Anyone with information regarding the collision is asked to contact Detective David Lauro in the Collision Investigation Detail at (562) 570-7355. 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.crimestoppers.org.

Pedestrian Killed During Police Pursuit in Long Be

Pedestrian Killed During Police Pursuit in Long Beach. On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, at approximately 11:10 p.m., officers were involved in a pursuit of a vehicle fleeing the scene of a commercial burglary in progress to a licensed marijuana-related business. During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle collided with a pedestrian, resulting in the death of a male adult. Officers were initially dispatched to a commercial burglary in progress involving multiple suspects in the 2100 block of Gaylord Street. The calling party advised that suspects were inside the business cutting down marijuana plants. Officers arrived on scene within two minutes, detained three male adults outside the business, and requested additional units to assist. Officers also observed a suspect fleeing the scene in a 2016 Mercedes Benz GLE and a pursuit was initiated and approved.

The pursuit lasted approximately five minutes and included both surface streets and the 103 and 710 freeways. During the pursuit, the driver of the Mercedes Benz, who was traveling at a high rate of speed, drove through a red light at 6th Street and Magnolia Avenue and struck a pedestrian that was legally crossing the street while walking his dog. The suspect continued to flee before being involved in a second collision with a fence in the area of Pine Avenue and 6th Street where he was taken into custody. The suspect was believed to be driving while under the influence of drugs during the time of the incident.

Immediately following the collision with the pedestrian, assisting officers rendered aid to the pedestrian until Long Beach Fire Department arrived on scene and determined the pedestrian deceased. The pedestrian’s dog was also found deceased at the scene as a result of the collision.

The pedestrian has been identified as 32-year-old Jose Hernandez from Long Beach.

Officers conducted a search of the business and arrested three additional suspects, for a total of six suspects arrested at the commercial burglary location.
The suspect who was driving the Mercedes Benz was identified. More info on our website.
