Data released to NBC4 shows 114 shootings took place between Jan. 1 and April 30 in the city of Long Beach.
A teenager walking to work, a veteran cleaning his yard and a man outside a bar on Second Street are just three of the victims killed by gun violence that has plagued Long Beach in the first four months of the year.
“In response to a recent increase in violent crime, we’ve increased our patrols and engagement efforts in the areas impacted by violence,” said a statement from Long Beach Police Department. “Our officers and detectives continue to take enforcement action, making arrests and recovering illegal firearms. We are utilizing a data-driven approach to allocate our resources to deter additional crime in our community.
Police have released surveillance video and a still photo of the potential shooter and hope someone will come forward. “We hear you loud and clear,” said Mayor Rex Richardson. “We’ve had a lot of high profile shootings in the last six weeks.”
