Long Beach police say this car, a white Mazda 3, hit a pedestrian in California Heights before the driver got out and stabbed him. Photo courtesy Long Beach police. Long Beach police have released video footage of a car that hit a pedestrian before the driver got out and stabbed the man to death in California Heights, according to authorities. Police said they need help finding the white Mazda 3 hatchback that hit the victim on Orange Avenue just north of Wardlow Road. Police said the car is a recent model between 2011 and 2014. It was missing a bumper before the crash, and it may have damage to its passenger-side mirror from the impact.

A man was shot to death to in front of a North Long Beach apartment building Monday night. The shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. in the 3200 block of Andy Street, which is just northwest of the intersection of Downey Avenue and South Street, according to authorities. Neighbors said they heard one shot and went outside to find a young man lying on the sidewalk. The small dead-end street is lined with apartment buildings, many of them with neighborhood watch and no-trespassing signs. Ben James, who lives in one of the apartments, said he knows just about everyone from the neighborhood but he didn't recognized the slain man. "He don't live over here for sure," James said. Tuesday morning, there were two candles near the curb, marking where the man died as neighbors went about their morning moving cars for street-sweeping. Police said the man had been shot in the upper body. There was no information available on a suspect or a possible motive, Long Beach Police Department Spokeswoman Nancy Pratt said. Homicide detectives were investigating.

Long Beach police are investigating after a gunman opened fire on a group of people a few blocks away from Washington Middle School Monday night. The gunfire started around around 8 p.m. near 15th Street and Daisy Avenue, according to Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman Nancy Pratt. That's when a gunman approached the group of men or boys and started shooting but apparently missed, she said. Nobody reported being wounded, according to Pratt. The gunman fled on foot before police arrived, she said. Investigators think the shooting may be gang-related, according to Pratt. Police couldn't immediately provide a description of the gunman.

The bicyclist killed this week on Seventh Street was a 35-year-old designer who was making a new life for himself in Long Beach before a crash snatched him away from his family, according to a relative. About a year ago, Benjamin Rael moved to Long Beach where he'd gotten a promising new position managing interior design jobs at high-end hotels, his brother Tim Rael said. It was a fresh start. "He had several years of really hard times. He always stayed positive," Tim Rael said. "He worked his way through them and things were getting better. It's the best I've ever seen him in his life." Despite moving away from his family—including six siblings—in Arizona, Benjamin Rael stayed close emotionally, sometimes driving through the night or sleeping in his car to visit his brothers and sisters for just a day. "He was just an amazing guy," his brother said. "He had the biggest damn heart you can imagine." Police said Benjamin Rael was hit by a pickup truck when his bike veered into oncoming lanes at Seventh Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 2. The driver who hit him immediately pulled over and started performing CPR, but Benjamin Rael died after paramedics took him to the hospital, according to authorities.
