A man is dead after being shot Wednesday, and police are still investigating the case.
On Jan. 25, at approximately 2:19am, Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers were dispatched to investigate a possible shooting in the 1300 block of Wesley Drive. They found a male adult with apparent gunshot injuries and initiated life-saving measures. Long Beach Fire Department personnel subsequently determined the victim deceased at the scene.
The suspect or suspects fled the scene before officers arrived.
Homicide detectives responded to begin their investigation. A motive is yet to be determined, however at this point, the incident does not appear to be random, police said.
The Los Angeles County Coroner will positively identify the victim and notify next of kin, according to the LBPD.
The investigation remains ongoing. Those with information regarding the incident are urged to call Homicide Detectives Sean Irving and Benjamin Vargas at (562) 570-7244.
