Long Beach homicide detectives have arrested two suspects in connection with the October 25, 2025, fatal shooting of a man in the 100 block of La Verne Avenue.
Following an extensive investigation, detectives identified the primary suspect as Jason Loving, 41, of Harbor City. Loving was taken into custody in Compton and booked at Long Beach City Jail on charges of murder, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and violation of a restraining order. His bail was set at $2 million.
Investigators also arrested Dasmine Hall, 31, of Compton, who was allegedly with Loving when the shooting occurred and fled the scene with him. Hall was booked for murder and accessory to murder, with her bail also set at $2 million.
The homicide occurred around 1:39 a.m. on Oct. 25, when officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 100 block of La Verne Avenue. Arriving officers found a man suffering from gunshot wounds and rendered aid until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to preliminary findings, the incident stemmed from an altercation that began earlier in the evening at a nearby bar. The dispute escalated outside, where Loving allegedly produced a firearm and opened fire before fleeing in a vehicle.
The victim’s identity has not yet been released, pending notification of next of kin by the Los Angeles County Department of the Medical Examiner.
The investigation remains ongoing, and detectives are asking anyone with additional information to contact Long Beach Police Homicide Detectives.
