A fourth person was arrested over the weekend in connection with a Jan. 23 shooting that left one man dead and a bystander wounded after a fight in Central Long Beach, police said today.

Police and the U.S. Marshals Service took 37-year-old Phillip Bullard into custody at his Inglewood home on Saturday, Feb. 23, according to jail records.

He was booked into jail on suspicion of murder and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm and held in lieu of $3.2 million bail, police said.

Police said they connected Bullard to the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Maurice Ross outside the historic Packard Building on Anaheim Street just west of Long Beach Boulevard.

Police said Ross and the suspected killers had been arguing and fighting before one or more of them opened fire. They declined to give details on what the argument was about other than to say it was gang related. Long Beach police define “gang-related” crime as any crime “committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with any criminal street gang.”

A woman who wasn’t involved in the dispute was also shot, but she was taken to the hospital and expected to survive, police said.

Earlier this month, police arrested three others they allege participated in the killing or helped the suspects avoid capture.
