One of two men wounded in a shooting outside a Long Beach liquor store has died and a suspect was arrested, police said Monday.
The gunfire was reported about 7:15 a.m. July 10 at the intersection of Anaheim Street and Cedar Avenue, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
“Upon arrival, officers located two adult male victims, each with a gunshot wound to the upper body,” according to a Long Beach police statement. “Long Beach Fire Department personnel transported both victims to a local hospital.”
“Through their investigation, homicide detectives identified the suspect,” according to a police statement. “On July 10, 2026, Special Investigation Division detectives arrested Brian Medina, a 24-year-old resident of Long Beach, in the 2300 block of Linden Avenue.”
He was booked and later charged with two counts of attempted murder.
On Thursday, homicide detectives were notified that the 44-year-old victim died at a hospital.
“He is identified as Long Beach resident William Davis,” police said.
Medina was being held in lieu of $3,205,000 bail, but he could now face a possible murder charge with Davis’ death.
The circumstances and motive of the shooting remain under investigation.
