A woman, a man and a boy were wounded in a shooting in the Shoreline Village area of Long Beach, authorities said today.
The shooting was reported at 10:50 p.m. Sunday near Shoreline Drive and Shoreline Village Drive, according to Long Beach Police Department Lt. Brandon Deis.
That’s where a large group of people got into an altercation outside of a boat, according to the LBPD. The dispute escalated, and at least one person fired shots, the department said in a statement.
“The group and boat fled the scene before officers arrived,” police said, but officers soon “located a boat matching the description nearby and conducted a vessel stop.”
Onboard, police say they arrested Joshua Eduardo Jones, a 43-year-old resident of Apple Valley, on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, being a prohibited possessor in possession of ammunition, carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, and carrying a loaded firearm in a public place. He was not arrested on suspicion of shooting anyone. He was being held without bail.
Long Beach Fire Department paramedics took the wounded woman to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries to her upper body, Deis said.
A 14-year-old boy “self-transported” to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury to one leg or foot, the lieutenant said.
A man also took himself to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury to one leg or foot, Deis said.
A motive for the shooting and a description of the suspect are still under investigation, police said.
