Young Mother Killed in Long Beach

LONG BEACH — A 23-year-old woman was killed on the morning of July 25, near 5th Street on Walnut Avenue in Long Beach.

At about 6:20 a.m., Long Beach Police Department officers found Jazzmine Wash dead at the scene, laying on the courtyard of an apartment complex on Walnut Avenue, officials said.

Wash had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene by Long Beach Fire Department paramedics.
