Officers dispatched at about 10:45 p.m. Saturday to a report of a shooting in the 1900 block of Luray Street located evidence that a shooting occurred and were notified that the victim had transported himself to a hospital out of the city, the Long Beach Police Department reported.
“The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was engaged in a physical altercation with an unknown male suspect, which escalated when the suspect shot the victim,” police said. “The suspect fled on foot towards an unknown direction prior to officers’ arrival.”
