Two People Shot Outside Wingstop in Long Beach; Po Two People Shot Outside Wingstop in Long Beach; Police Investigating

Long Beach police are investigating a shooting that left two individuals seriously injured Tuesday afternoon outside a Wingstop restaurant.

The incident occurred around 3:00 p.m. in the parking lot located at the northeast corner of Long Beach Boulevard and 20th Street. Witnesses reported hearing between six and ten gunshots. Bystanders attempted to perform CPR on one of the victims who was found lying on the ground.

Paramedics from the Long Beach Fire Department arrived shortly afterward and transported the victim to a nearby trauma center.

The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting is ongoing.
Thousands Gather at Bixby Park in National ‘No K Thousands Gather at Bixby Park in National ‘No King’ Protest Against Trump Administration

Long Beach, CA — June 14, 2025

Thousands of demonstrators gathered at Bixby Park in Long Beach on Saturday as part of a national day of protest dubbed the “No King” movement a sweeping demonstration aimed at voicing opposition to the administration of President Donald Trump.

The event in Long Beach was one of dozens held across the country, with protesters denouncing what they describe as authoritarian overreach and anti-democratic policies tied to Trump’s time in office and his ongoing influence in American politics.

Waving signs that read “No King in America,” “Democracy Not Dictatorship,” and “Power to the People,” the crowd chanted slogans. Organizers emphasized that the protest was not only about Trump himself, but about what they view as a broader threat to democratic norms and civil liberties.

“This is about standing up for the values our country was founded on,” said Alicia Martinez, one of the event’s coordinators. “No one not a president, not a billionaire, not anyone is above the Constitution.”

The peaceful demonstration began around 9:00 A.M., drawing a diverse group of attendees from across Southern California. Many participants expressed concern about the president’s recent rhetoric and executive orders.

“We’re here because silence is complicity,” said James Lang, a Long Beach resident. “This protest is a message that we won’t go backward.”

The “No King” movement, first launched by grassroots activists earlier this year, has gained traction on social media and among civic groups alarmed by what they call a “creeping erosion” of democratic institutions.

The Long Beach Police Department reported no major incidents and said the protest remained orderly so far as of noon.

15-Year-Old Lakewood High Student Killed in Long B 15-Year-Old Lakewood High Student Killed in Long Beach Crash; Family Seeks Help

A tragic car crash on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, claimed the life of 15-year-old Carlos, a Lakewood High School student. The heartbreaking incident occurred just days before the end of the school year, with summer break just around the corner. The crash happened around 2:56 p.m. at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue and Carson Street in Long Beach.

According to the Long Beach Police Department, a 2010 Infiniti G37 was speeding westbound on Carson Street when it ran a red light and collided with a 2010 Toyota Prius traveling southbound on Palo Verde Avenue. The impact caused the Infiniti to overturn and skid onto the northwest sidewalk, where it struck Carlos, who was sitting at a bus stop.

Long Beach Fire Department personnel responded and transported Carlos to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The driver of the Toyota, a 32-year-old man from Lakewood, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. The Infiniti’s driver was hospitalized in stable condition. Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.

Carlos was a beloved teenager with a bright future, remembered by family and friends for his kind heart. The crash happened just before the school year ended, making the loss even more heartbreaking for his classmates and teachers at Lakewood High.

In the wake of his death, a family member launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover funeral costs.

“Hello, we are creating this GoFundMe in support of my sister. Yesterday, June 11, 2025, there was a car accident in Long Beach at the intersection of Palo Verde and Carson. Two vehicles crashed and one of the vehicles flipped over and unfortunately hit my nephew that was waiting for the bus. My 15-year-old nephew passed away and we are asking for your help to put him to rest. Thank you in advance.”

The community is encouraged to support the family during this devastating time.

Pedestrian Killed, Driver Seriously Injured in Rol Pedestrian Killed, Driver Seriously Injured in Rollover Crash Near Heartwell Park

Long Beach, CA — A pedestrian was killed and a driver seriously injured Wednesday afternoon following a violent two-vehicle crash that ended in a rollover near Heartwell Park, authorities said.

The collision occurred shortly after 2:55 p.m. on East Carson Street near Palo Verde Avenue. Officials said one of the vehicles rolled over after the crash and struck a pedestrian who had been waiting at a bus stop. 

The pedestrian was taken to a local trauma center but later died from their injuries. The driver of the overturned vehicle also suffered serious injuries and remains hospitalized. A third person was evaluated at the scene but declined transport.

Witnesses described the pedestrian as an innocent bystander, seated or standing at the bus stop when the crash occurred. One witness said the driver appeared to be a young man who may have been speeding and lost control. Another claimed a vehicle ran a red light, struck the second car, and went airborne before crashing onto the sidewalk.

Debris from the collision littered the north sidewalk along East Carson Street. A two-door Mazda was found overturned against a telephone pole and wall, having knocked down part of a chain link fence that bordered a canal behind nearby homes. A bus bench was ripped from its base and left mangled at the crash site.

The Long Beach Police Department is investigating the circumstances leading up to the crash, including whether speed or a red-light violation were factors. 

The identity of the deceased pedestrian has not yet been released pending notification of family.
Hundreds Rally in Long Beach Against ICE Raids, Im Hundreds Rally in Long Beach Against ICE Raids, Immigration Policies

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the Long Beach Civic Center on Tuesday to protest recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the Los Angeles area and to urge city leaders to boost funding for immigrant legal services.

The protest began in the late afternoon at Harvey Milk Park in downtown Long Beach, where roughly 100 people assembled before marching a few blocks to the Civic Center. By 5 p.m., the crowd had swelled to around 300, many carrying signs condemning ICE and the Trump administration’s immigration policies. The demonstration continued to grow, with about 500 participants eventually converging on the Civic Center.

The Long Beach rally was part of a broader wave of demonstrations across Southern California, including a sustained protest in Downtown Los Angeles now entering its fourth consecutive day.

After the main rally concluded, a number of protesters remained in the area and moved onto portions of Ocean Boulevard and Chestnut Avenue, temporarily disrupting traffic.

In a statement, the Long Beach Police Department said “Earlier this evening, LBPD facilitated peaceful First Amendment activity in the Civic Center Plaza area and remained focused on ensuring the safety of both our community and those participating in the demonstration. While the demonstration remained peaceful, there were brief traffic disruptions in the area surrounding Ocean Boulevard and Chestnut Avenue. The Long Beach Police Department fully supports the right to peaceful protest. We thank everyone who exercised their rights responsibly.”

However, tensions escalated around 8 p.m., when LBPD declared the gathering an “unlawful assembly.” Officers blocked the eastward path of the marchers, prompting the crowd to redirect westward toward Pacific Avenue. By 9 p.m., the demonstration had been fully dispersed. Police, some in riot gear and on motorcycles, returned to headquarters adjacent to City Hall.

No major incidents or arrests were reported.
Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson @rexrichardsonlb h Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson @rexrichardsonlb has released a video condemning recent federal ICE raids. He emphasizes that these actions “aim to instill fear and divide our communities,” urges unity and outlines residents’ rights. He calls for peaceful protest, community solidarity, and vigilance to protect immigrant families.

Millions Spent, But Homelessness Still Rising in L Millions Spent, But Homelessness Still Rising in Long Beach

Even after spending over $130 million since 2020, Long Beach is seeing more people living on the streets. The most recent count found 3,595 people experiencing homelessness in the city—219 more than last year.

City officials say that much of the increase was caused by the January wildfires in Southern California. Of those counted, 167 people said they lost their homes because of the fires. That accounts for about 5% of the rise. The other 1.5% came from reasons like job loss, family issues, mental health struggles, eviction, and addiction.

This year, Long Beach spent around $55 million on homelessness programs. One major effort was the Vagabond Inn project, which turned a downtown motel into temporary housing. Since June 2024, the program has helped some people who would have otherwise lived in the city’s most visible encampments. But now, the city is shutting it down because it has spent the full $5.3 million in state grant money that funded the project.

Still, many are wondering: With all this money, why are more people homeless?

The city did help over 1,500 people move into permanent housing last year. It also reported a drop in chronic homelessness, which includes people who have been unhoused for a long time. But at the same time, more people are becoming homeless—some for the first time. In fact, the number of newly homeless people has grown from 14.3% to 16% in just one year.

Earlier this year, the city returned a $5.6 million state grant meant for building tiny homes because it couldn’t find a place to put them. That decision raised even more questions about how homelessness funds are being used.

City leaders say more help is on the way, with new housing centers being built for youth and other at-risk groups. But for now, the number of unhoused people continues to grow.

As Long Beach spends millions each year, residents are asking:

Where is the money going and why aren’t we seeing better results?

What do you think needs to change? Let us know.
UPDATE: Homicide Detectives Arrest 24-year-old in UPDATE: Homicide Detectives Arrest 24-year-old in Fatal Shooting on Harding Street

LONG BEACH, Calif. (May 30, 2025) — Homicide detectives with the Long Beach Police Department are investigating the fatal shooting of a man early Thursday morning in the 2000 block of East Harding Street.

At approximately 5:17 a.m. on May 29, officers responded to a call of gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, they discovered a male adult suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body. Officers immediately rendered medical aid until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived and pronounced the victim dead at the scene.

As homicide detectives began their investigation, officers were dispatched to a separate incident at 49th Street and Del Amo Boulevard involving a man experiencing a possible mental health crisis. There, they contacted 24-year-old Garrett Remillard, a Long Beach resident, who made statements connecting himself to the earlier homicide.

Following further investigation, detectives identified Remillard as the suspect responsible for the shooting. He was arrested and transported to Long Beach Police Jail, where he was booked on one count of murder. His bail has been set at $2,000,000.

According to investigators, Remillard and the victim were known to each other. The motive and circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.

The identity of the victim is being withheld pending notification of next of kin by the Los Angeles County Department of the Medical Examiner.

Authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward as the investigation continues.
Big Oil Changes Could Cost Long Beach Millions — Big Oil Changes Could Cost Long Beach Millions — But What’s the Backup Plan?

Long Beach, CA – A new report from City Auditor Laura Doud says Long Beach could lose up to $301 million by 2035 as oil production declines. For years, oil has helped pay for important city services like road repairs, beach safety, libraries, and fire and police departments.

In 2023, oil brought in $56.5 million. But by 2035, that could fall to just $21 million — a 63% drop. Why? Oil in the ground is running out, and Senate Bill 1137 (SB1137) could ban new oil wells near homes, schools, and hospitals. Voters will decide on this in November 2024.

What Does Oil Money Pay For?

Here’s how the city used oil money in 2023:
	•	$28.7 million for Tidelands — lifeguards, beach clean-up, walking paths, and lagoon restoration.
	•	$23.4 million for the General Fund — libraries, tree and street maintenance, public safety, and youth and health programs.
	•	$3.1 million for safety programs — help for homeless people, fire services, and mental health.
	•	$1.3 million for utilities and city development.

City Auditor Doud said, “Oil revenue has helped improve the environment, boost public safety, and keep our beaches and neighborhoods clean.”

But What If That Money Goes Away?

The big concern: there’s no clear plan for what will replace this money. Without oil funds, how will Long Beach continue to support essential services?

There’s also a cleanup cost. When oil wells shut down, they must be safely closed to protect the environment. Long Beach has saved enough to cover its part. But the State of California hasn’t — and is expected to be 50% short by 2035.

What’s Next?

As California works to move away from oil, many agree it’s important for the planet. But Long Beach leaders are asking:
	•	What will replace oil revenue?
	•	How will we fund safety and beach programs?
	•	Is the state doing its part?

City leaders say a plan is needed now — before time runs out.

Homeland, Security Arrests 12 Mexican Nationals in Homeland, Security Arrests 12 Mexican Nationals in Long Beach for Illegal Entry

Long Beach, CA – On Memorial Day, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles announced the arrest of 12 Mexican citizens for unlawfully entering the United States. The arrests followed a tip from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) about a pleasure craft traveling from Mexico to Long Beach.

According to an HSI post on X, CBP alerted authorities early Monday morning after spotting the vessel along the coast. HSI agents responded swiftly, apprehending the group, which included at least one woman, after they were reportedly “jettisoned” by the boat. Details about the exact location of the arrests remain unclear.

Images released by HSI show the migrants standing in front of a white van, many with zip-tied wrists and wrapped in foil blankets. Authorities confirmed the individuals were detained for being unlawfully present in the U.S.

This operation follows another recent high-profile case in Southern California, where a 31-year-old man, previously deported in 2017 then back in the U.S. illegally, was arrested in Newport Beach for allegedly embezzling $7 million from his employer. The executive had been living in the U.S. for 12 years before his detention by ICE.

Long Beach Launches E-Scooter Pilot on Beach Bike Long Beach Launches E-Scooter Pilot on Beach Bike Path to Promote Clean Transit Options

LONG BEACH, Calif. — The City of Long Beach has officially launched its E-Scooter Beach Bike Path Pilot, allowing electric scooters on the Shoreline Pedestrian Bikepath (also known as the Beach Bike Path) beginning Friday, May 24, 2025. The 12-month pilot aims to evaluate the potential for permanently integrating e-scooters into the scenic waterfront route.

The initiative is part of Long Beach’s broader Climate Action Plan, which promotes sustainable transportation alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ease traffic congestion. By expanding access to shared e-scooters, the City hopes to offer residents and visitors of all abilities a low-cost, environmentally friendly way to travel short distances.

“This pilot is a step forward in creating a more accessible and climate-conscious Long Beach,” said city officials. “We’re looking forward to seeing how e-scooters can fit into our vibrant beachside community.”

Under updated municipal code provisions, e-scooter riders must follow specific safety and etiquette rules while on the Beach Bike Path:
	•	Maintain a maximum speed of 15 mph
	•	Reduce speed to 5 mph when pedestrians are present
	•	Park only in designated corral locations
	•	Remain on the bike path at all times

Data on scooter usage, parking behavior, and rider feedback will be collected throughout the pilot. The City will assess the findings to determine whether to continue or restrict e-scooter access to the Beach Bike Path after the pilot ends.

E-scooter operators will also issue rider surveys several months into the pilot to better understand how the devices are being used along the beach.

Both incidents are being treated as suspicious, and fire investigators remain on scene to determine the cause. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported in connection with either fire.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about the fires to contact local officials. Video by @longbeachfire
Long Beach Police to Conduct DUI Checkpoint on May Long Beach Police to Conduct DUI Checkpoint on May 16

LONG BEACH, CA – The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) will hold a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driver License (CDL) checkpoint on May 16, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. in the South Division area. The checkpoint aims to enhance public safety by removing suspected impaired drivers from the roads.

The location was chosen based on data highlighting areas with frequent impaired driving-related crashes. Commander Jeremy Boshnack emphasized the dangers of impaired driving, stating, “Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk. Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers significantly improve traffic safety.”

The LBPD reminds drivers that impairment is not limited to alcohol. Prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and marijuana—despite being legal for medicinal and recreational use—can impair driving ability and are illegal when operating a vehicle. First-time DUI offenders face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, along with a suspended license.

This checkpoint is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
