A young male was killed and another was injured when the two 18-year olds were shot on Saturday night near the intersection of 15th Street and Stanley Avenue, according to authorities.
Officers received a “Shots fired” call at approximately 11:30pm and arrived to find the two injured males. One victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but the other victim sustained injuries to his upper body and died at the scene. A Long Beach Police Department press release did not indicate whether the deceased had been shot once or multiple times.
The investigation is ongoing and is possibly gang related.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact Homicide Detectives Scott Lasch or Donald Goodman at (562) 570-7244.
