Women Found Stabbed to Death on Sidewalk

On Tuesday, July 7, 2015, at approximately 11:20 p.m., the Long Beach Fire Department received a call that a battery occurred in the 5500 block of Long Beach Boulevard and a woman was injured. The Fire Department requested the Long Beach Police Department also respond.

Arriving officers found a female African-American, who appeared to be approximately 25 years old, on the ground and unresponsive. Officers immediately began life-saving measures. Once Fire Department personnel arrived, they took over life-saving measures and transported her to a local hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.

Homicide detectives responded to further investigate. The preliminary investigation revealed a male African-American adult was seen fleeing the area after the assault. Detectives later discovered the victim had been stabbed in the upper torso.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office will positively identify the victim and notify next of kin.

No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.
