UPDATED 12:40PM | The Long Beach Police Department released the name of the felony robbery suspect shot twice by officers Thursday night. The officers were in the area of 45th St. and Orange Ave. searching for Matthew Frushon, 39, of Long Beach who was considered a suspect in the armed robbery of a convenience store on Monday. When one of the officers spotted Frushon, they started running after him and an officer-involved shooting occurred. 

“As the officer began running after him–believing the suspect was armed, and based on the overt actions made by the suspect–the officer discharged his firearm,” police said. “The suspect was struck by gunfire.”

It is still unclear as to what the overt actions were that caused the officer to shoot, however no firearm was found at the shooting scene, police said.

ORIGINAL 10:10AM | A man suspected of committing felony robbery was shot twice by Long Beach Police Department officers late Thursday night and is currently listed in stable condition. The incident happened at 45th St. and Orange Ave. at around 10:40PM said LBPD Sgt. Aaron Eaton.

Police say officers were in the area searching for the man when the suspect was located and an officer-involved shooting occured. Is it unclear where the suspected robbery took place or what made the officers fire their weapon, but the suspect was shot twice and is believed to have non life-threatening injuries. No officers were hurt. 

This is the second officer-involved shooting in Long Beach this week, and the second one this year to occur in this neighborhood just east of Bixby Knolls. In February, undercover detectives fired on a suspect who got away and earlier this week, officers returned fire at a suspected gang member near 8th St. and Maine Ave. and the suspect fled, prompting a shutdown of the surrounding neighborhood. Police announced Thursday that they had raided a Wilmington address and arrested the 24 year-old investigators believe is the one who shot at the officer.
