Homicide Detectives, with the assistance of detectives from the Special Investigations Division, arrested the four suspects believed responsible for the April 4, murder of Mario Morales-Moreno, a 51-year-old resident of Long Beach.
Detectives booked the following four suspects for the murder and firearms-related charges:
During the arrests, officers recovered multiple firearms. Detectives served search warrants in the cities of Long Beach, Bellflower, and Indio. Evidence was recovered during the search warrant service. Homicide detectives believe the motive to be gang related, however, the investigation remains ongoing.
“Gang-related violence has no place in any part of our city, and this callous criminal act has forever changed the lives of Mr. Moreno’s family,” said Chief of Police Wally Hebeish. “The tireless investigative work and arrests of these suspects again demonstrates the commitment of our personnel to hold violent individuals accountable and take dangerous firearms out of their hands. Through their efforts, along with the assistance of our community, detectives were able to safely arrest the suspects within days of this crime, while also recovering multiple firearms.”
Detectives will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration this week.
