Violence marred the streets of Long Beach last night in two separate incidents involving gunfire and stabbing. A shooting occurred on the 5300 block of Atlantic Avenue just after 9:00 p.m., where officers discovered signs of the altercation, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Similarly, a stabbing incident took place minutes later near Artesia Boulevard and the Los Angeles Riverbed, resulting in a swift arrest.
Details from the LBPD blotter reveal that, on November 5, an individual, was struck by gunfire while walking down the sidewalk. The victim retaliated by discharging his weapon before both he and the assailant fled the scene. The wounded individual later sought medical attention for gunshot wounds at an area hospital, and, despite his lack of cooperation with authorities, was tied to the earlier shooting.
In a near-simultaneous event, an encounter turned violent when a suspect, later identified as 40-year-old Elijah Fudge of Long Beach, reportedly stabbed another male after an intensified physical conflict. The LBPD's immediate response led to the suspect's capture and arrest for charges including attempted murder, with his bail set at a staggering $1,000,000.
