Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting that occurred on March 1, in the 200 block of Pine Avenue that resulted in the death of one male adult victim and injuries to two additional male adult victims.
On March 1, there was a special event in the downtown Long Beach area, which drew a large gathering. About 3:32 p.m., officers assigned to the area heard an altercation occurring. As they began responding, they heard gunshots coming from a parking structure in the 200 block of Pine Avenue.
