In the early hours of August 8, a shooting incident was reported in Long Beach, where police found evidence of gunfire but thankfully, no injuries occurred; the search for the suspect, or suspects, is still ongoing. According to a report published by the Long Beach Police Department, the event took place around 12:42 a.m. on the 1100 block of Raymond Avenue.
While the police were quick to arrive at the scene after being dispatched due to shots fired, the suspect or suspects had already fled, the seeming immediacy a testament to the night's urgency; though scared, the community was left untouched by bullets. As investigations continue, authorities are piecing together what spurred the violence in an otherwise quiet neighborhood, as they have disclosed little on the motivations or identities involved in the no-hit shooting.
The LBPD is asking anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist in bringing clarity and closure to yet another night marked by the sound of gunfire.
