Long Beach police are investigating the stabbing death of a man in Dave’s Hot Chicken on Second Street early Sunday — the area’s second homicide in two weeks.

Around 1:07 a.m., officers were called to the 5200 block of East Second Street, where they found a man who had been stabbed in the upper body, police spokesperson Jennifer Serafin said.

Video posted on social media shows the incident took place at Dave’s Hot Chicken.

Officers were already nearby when they were called, and they got to the scene within two minutes. They tried to help the victim until Long Beach Fire Department paramedics arrived and took the man to a local hospital, where he died, police said.

The stabbing happened during a fight between two groups, according to police.

“During the fight, a male adult suspect stabbed the victim,” the LBPD said in a statement.

The suspect and other people involved in the fight ran away afterward, according to police.

Police did not immediately provide any other details but said anyone with information on the crime can call 562-570-7244.

Exactly two weeks ago, and within a block of where the stabbing occurred, 32-year-old Long Beach resident Johnny Santos died after a man shot him during an argument, according to police. The suspected shooter has since been arrested and charged with murder.

Long Beach Police Commander Michael Richens said police started extra patrols in the area after the Feb. 18 shooting, and they’ve now added more detectives and bicycle officers.

Private security along Second Street also has been increased, said Matt Peterson, who chairs the Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Commission and is the co-owner of Legends Sports Bar. (The commission pays for extra security services.)

Daily security patrols from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. were added last year to deter burglaries, and Peterson said since the shooting the commission has beefed up security staff from midnight to 2:30 a.m. on weekends, when bars and restaurants are usually busier.

Peterson wants the city to return to having cops walking the area so they’re more visible and they can build rapport with business owners and their patrons, he said.

“What doesn’t need to happen is people don’t need to get hysterical — this is not the new norm,” Peterson said of the two violent incidents. “The Shore is safe, it’s family-friendly and it’s a wonderful place to go, period.”

Councilmember Kristina Duggan, who represents the Belmont Shore area, said in a statement Sunday that she’s working with city staff on how to reduce crime. Besides added police presence, potential ideas include reviewing the number of state-issued alcohol sales licenses and requesting additional DUI checkpoints, the statement said.

Duggan invited anyone with questions or concerns about recent crimes in Belmont Shore to stop by Coffee with a Commander at 10 a.m, Thursday, March 7, at Sheldrake Coffee Roasting, 4606 Second St.
