Two Fatal Traffic Collisions in Long Beach Over Ho Two Fatal Traffic Collisions in Long Beach Over Holiday Weekend

Long Beach police are investigating two separate fatal traffic collisions that claimed the lives of a motorcyclist and a scooter rider over the Labor Day weekend.

The first crash occurred Saturday, Aug. 30, at about 9:01 p.m. at 11th Street and Redondo Avenue. Investigators said a 2010 KTM motorcycle, ridden by 37-year-old Long Beach resident Roberto Barraza, was heading south on Redondo when it collided with a 2006 Toyota Sequoia traveling east on 11th Street. Barraza died at the scene despite lifesaving efforts by Long Beach Fire Department personnel.

Police arrested the driver of the Sequoia, 33-year-old Long Beach resident Frank Andrade Jr., on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter. Andrade was booked into jail with bail set at $101,781.

The second fatal crash happened early Monday, Sept. 1, around 3:19 a.m. at 7th Street and Federation Drive. Officers found an unconscious man in the roadway after he was struck by a 2016 Hyundai Accent while riding a scooter southbound outside a marked crosswalk. Despite aid from bystanders, officers, and paramedics, the man later died at a local hospital.

The driver, a 28-year-old Laguna Beach resident, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Police said speed, distraction, and impairment do not appear to be factors. The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Detectives are continuing to investigate both collisions.

Minutes later, at 8:17 p.m., another stabbing was reported in the 5400 block of Atlantic Avenue. Police said a male adult victim suffered multiple non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body. He was also transported to a hospital for treatment. Both stabbing cases remain under investigation.

In a separate incident, on Aug. 30, 2025, at approximately 3:39 a.m., officers responded to the 1100 block of Atlantic Avenue after reports of gunfire.

Two Arrested, Seven Vehicles Seized in Long Beach Two Arrested, Seven Vehicles Seized in Long Beach Burglary and Street Racing Takeover Investigation

LONG BEACH — Detectives arrested two suspects and seized seven vehicles following a coordinated investigation into a commercial burglary and illegal street racing takeover last month in Long Beach.

The incident occurred July 14, 2025, at Orange Avenue and Harding Street, where a business was burglarized during an illegal takeover. Detectives interviewed business owners, reviewed security footage, and gathered evidence that identified a suspect and several vehicles tied to the crimes.

With arrest and seizure warrants in hand, detectives—working with the Auto Theft Section, High Crime Focus Team, and patrol—served operations across Long Beach, Lakewood, Santa Ana, Inglewood, and Bell Gardens.

Seven vehicles linked to street racing were seized. Two suspects were taken into custody:
	•	Tonjai Webster Jr., 20, of Los Angeles — booked for commercial burglary.
	•	Christopher J. Villegas, 20, of Lakewood — booked for felony vandalism related to street racing.

“Our community was concerned by the actions that took place on July 14th and the Long Beach Police Department has responded with focused and direct action,” said Police Chief Wally Hebeish. “The outstanding work of our detectives and police officers has led to the arrest of suspects responsible for vandalism and burglary, as well as the seizure of vehicles from the illegal street racing event. We will not accept dangerous and criminal behavior like this in our city.”

The cases will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration. Detectives continue to pursue additional leads.

Long Beach Police to Conduct DUI Checkpoint in Eas Long Beach Police to Conduct DUI Checkpoint in East Division

LONG BEACH — The Long Beach Police Department announced it will hold a driving under the influence (DUI)/driver license checkpoint on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the East Division area.

Checkpoint locations are selected based on data showing where impaired driving crashes and arrests are most likely to occur. Police said the primary goal is to enhance public safety by removing suspected impaired drivers from the road.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” said Commander Jeremy Boshnack. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

The department reminded drivers that impairment is not limited to alcohol. Certain prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and marijuana can all affect a person’s ability to drive safely. While marijuana use may be legal in California, driving under its influence remains against the law.

A first-time DUI offense can carry serious consequences, including an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, along with a suspended license.

The checkpoint is funded through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, with support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Long Beach Mayor Speaks Out Against ICE Raids at C Long Beach Mayor Speaks Out Against ICE Raids at Car Washes

LONG BEACH, Calif. — Mayor Rex Richardson is upset about recent raids by federal immigration agents at two local businesses, Andres Car Wash and Coast Hand Car Wash. Videos showed agents wearing masks storming in and taking workers who were just doing their jobs.

The mayor visited Andres Car Wash and talked to the owner, Andres. “What I heard was disturbing,” Mayor Richardson said. “Federal agents entered masked, without documentation, and took four workers simply trying to provide for their families.”

These workers are neighbors and parents, not criminals, the mayor explained. The raids happened even though a judge, U.S. District Judge Maame Frimpong, made a rule in July that says agents can’t target people based on their race, language, job, or where they work, like car washes.

“These raids violate a federal court order and our values,” the mayor said. “Long Beach will fight back.” The city is thinking about taking legal action to stop these raids and protect its community.
Three People Stabbed in Separate Long Beach Attack Three People Stabbed in Separate Long Beach Attacks Over the Weekend

Long Beach police are investigating three separate stabbing incidents that left multiple people injured over the weekend.

The first occurred Saturday, Aug. 16, around 5:15 p.m. in the 300 block of Neece Street. Officers arrived to find a male suspect being detained by several people at the scene. Investigators said the suspect and a man had been in a verbal dispute when the suspect stabbed him. The victim was taken to a hospital by a good Samaritan and is expected to survive. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Long Beach resident Mauricio Antonio Guzman, was booked on one count of attempted murder. His bail was set at $1 million.

Less than 12 hours later, at about 5:25 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, officers responded to a residence in the 700 block of Orange Avenue after reports of another stabbing. Police said two women were assaulted during a dispute with a man and woman, and one of the victims was stabbed in the upper body. She was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Both suspects fled before officers arrived.

That evening, at 5:42 p.m., police responded to the 100 block of Pacific Avenue where a 16-year-old boy had been stabbed in the upper body. He was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers quickly located the suspect, identified as 34-year-old Long Beach resident Christopher Ivan Gonzalez, as he attempted to flee. While being arrested, Gonzalez allegedly assaulted an officer, though the officer was not injured. Gonzalez was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, resisting arrest, resisting arrest by means of force or violence, and disorderly conduct. His bail was set at $1 million.

All three investigations remain ongoing, police said.
Airplane Makes Emergency Landing at Long Beach Air Airplane Makes Emergency Landing at Long Beach Airport

LONG BEACH — A small plane made an emergency landing at Long Beach Airport on Friday evening after experiencing a landing gear malfunction, authorities said.

The incident occurred around 7:10 p.m., when a Cessna carrying two people was forced to land. Airport officials confirmed the aircraft touched down safely despite the mechanical issue, and no injuries were reported.

Both occupants walked away unharmed. Operations at the airport continued with minimal disruption, officials said.

The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Long Beach Values Act: City to Discipline Employee Long Beach Values Act: City to Discipline Employees Who Defy Sanctuary Policies

The Long Beach Values Act protects immigrants by limiting how the city works with federal immigration agents. The city strengthened it, adding rules like training city workers to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from non-public city areas and punishing workers who don’t follow the rules.

Some question if the Act breaks federal law. The Trump Administration called Long Beach a “sanctuary city” in May 2025, saying it might face penalties for not helping ICE. Federal law says cities can’t block immigration enforcement, but California’s Values Act (SB 54) supports Long Beach’s rules by limiting state and local police from working with ICE. A federal judge once ruled against punishing cities like Long Beach for this. Still, some worry the city could lose federal money, like the $315 million it got last year, if the Trump Administration challenges it.

Critics, like local group ÓRALE, say the Act still allows some cooperation with ICE for serious crimes. They also want people to be able to sue the city if it doesn’t follow the Act, but officials say this could lead to costly lawsuits.

City employees who disobey these sanctuary policies face serious consequences. If a worker, like a police officer or city staff, shares immigration information with ICE or lets agents into restricted city areas without a court order, they could get a warning, be suspended, demoted, or even fired. Residents can report violations through an online portal run by the city’s Human Resources Department, and vendors who don’t follow the rules may lose their contracts.

The Long Beach Values Act aims to keep immigrants safe and build trust with police. But with possible legal fights and federal funding at risk, questions remain: Can Long Beach keep its protections without breaking federal law? For now, the city stands firm, but the debate continues.
16-Year-Old Shot, Woman Stabbed in Separate North 16-Year-Old Shot, Woman Stabbed in Separate North Long Beach Attacks

LONG BEACH – Police are investigating two separate violent incidents in North Long Beach this week that left a teenage boy shot and a woman stabbed.

The first occurred around 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 13 in the 5200 block of Atlantic Avenue, where officers responded to reports of gunfire. They found a 16-year-old boy suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel took him to a local hospital. Police said the motive and circumstances remain under investigation, and no suspect information was immediately available.

Hours later, at about 12:10 a.m. on Aug. 14, officers were called to Atlantic Avenue and Harding Street for a stabbing. A woman was found with non-life-threatening wounds to her upper body and taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police said the suspect, later identified as David James Woods, 29, of Long Beach, briefly fled before being arrested. Woods was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest, with bail set at $30,000.

Investigators have not said whether the incidents are connected.

Woman Struck, Killed While Crossing Street in Cali Woman Struck, Killed While Crossing Street in California Heights

Long Beach, CA – August 2, 2025 — Collision Investigation Detectives with the Long Beach Police Department are investigating a fatal traffic collision that occurred Friday night, resulting in the death of an adult female pedestrian.

The incident took place on August 1, 2025, at approximately 9:05 p.m. Officers were dispatched to the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and 36th Street following reports of a vehicle-pedestrian collision.

Man Accused of Supporting ISIS Arrested in Long Be Man Accused of Supporting ISIS Arrested in Long Beach; Bomb Found in Bedroom

A Long Beach man was arrested Thursday on federal charges alleging he provided financial support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Mark Lorenzo Villanueva, 28, a lawful permanent resident from the Philippines, is accused of sending 12 payments totaling $1,615 over five months to individuals linked to ISIS. He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

Villanueva is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles today.

According to a federal affidavit, Villanueva communicated via social media with two individuals claiming to be ISIS fighters. He expressed his desire to support ISIS, offered to send money for weapons and equipment, and said he hoped to fight for the group himself.

“It’s an honor to fight and die for our faith,” he allegedly wrote. “Someday soon, I’ll be joining.”

In another exchange, he claimed to have a bomb and knives. During his arrest, the FBI recovered what appeared to be a bomb from his bedroom.

The money was sent through intermediaries overseas using Western Union.

“Supporting a terrorist group, whether at home or abroad, is a serious risk to our national security,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “We will aggressively hunt down and prosecute anyone who provides support or comfort to our enemies.”

The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Colin S. Scott and DOJ Trial Attorney Patrick Cashman.

A criminal complaint is only an allegation. Villanueva is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
