The streets of Long Beach served as the backdrop to a tragic scene in the early hours of November 13, 2025, when an unknown vehicle struck a pedestrian and evaded the grasp of justice by fleeing the scene. The Long Beach Police Department is now actively seeking information that could lead to the apprehension of the responsible party in light of the victim’s recent passing.
Officers were summoned to the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Maine Avenue upon the disturbance of the peace that night. There, they found Brandy Jackson, a 46-year-old Long Beach resident whose life hung in a precarious balance as emergency personnel rushed her to the sanctuary of a local hospital. Despite the valiant efforts of the Long Beach Fire Department personnel, Jackson's injuries were mortal, and on November 25, their demise was confirmed by authorities, according to a statement from the Long Beach Police Department.
In this moment where a family wrestles with grief and the bitter taste of departure, the police are trying to piece together the puzzle of that night's events. The vehicle that struck Jackson remains a ghost in the machine of the city, and no suspect information has been made available to the public eye. The quiet after the initial chaos is deafening, a somber reminder that the path to closure is shadowed with questions and the elusive flicker of possible answers.
Long Beach Police Department remains steadfast in its pursuit of the truth, urging anyone with insight into the accident to step forward.
