Homicide Detectives Investigating the Shooting Death of a Male Adult.

 

On July 8, about 9 p.m., officers responded to the 4900 block of Long Beach Boulevard, regarding multiple gunshots heard and at least one person who was shot inside of a local business.   

Upon arrival, officers located a male adult subject suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. Officers rendered medical aid and attempted life saving measures until being relieved by Long Beach Fire Department personnel who determined the subject deceased at the scene.   

Homicide Detectives responded to the scene to investigate the incident. Through preliminary investigations, detectives determined two armed suspects entered the bar to assault a patron. The bar patron was also armed, and shots were fired between the parties. The following injuries were reported: 

  • Suspect #1 – was struck by gunfire and determined deceased at the scene, who was identified as Arthur Rainey III, a 38-year-old resident of the city of Los Angeles.
  • Suspect #2 – fled the scene before officers’ arrival.
  • Bar patron – was struck in lower body and transported to a local hospital.
  • Uninvolved victim – sustained a minor injury to upper body and was treated on scene.

The investigation to determine the motive for the shooting remains under investigation. 

Detectives believe there were additional witnesses in the area and are encouraging them to come forward.   

Anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact Homicide Detectives Ethan Shear or Chasen Contreras 562-570-7244 or anonymously at 800-222-8477; www.lacrimestoppers.org
