Long Beach police are investigating a shooting that left a 27-year-old man wounded Sunday night on Pacific Coast Highway in the city’s Washington neighborhood, officials said.

A local hospital called police at about 8:45 p.m. with a report of a shooting victim. When officers got there, they talked to the victim, who had non-life threatening gunshot wounds to his lower body, police spokesman Brandon Fahey said.

“The victim stated he was walking near the area of PCH and Locust Avenue when a silver vehicle pulled up alongside him,” Fahey said.

A man in the vehicle shot him and fled the area, he said. Officers were not able to find evidence of a shooting in that location and no one else reported injuries.

Police said that the motive is still under investigation, but detectives believe the shooting was gang related.
