(July 21, 12:50 p.m.) -- An LBPD release states that the homicide victim, hit by gunfire and fatally wounded inside her own home on 10th St. near Alamitos Ave. was Genoveva Rivera Robles, 59, of Long Beach. In its release, LBPD stated: "Through their preliminary investigation, Homicide Detectives believe the suspect(s) was discharging a firearm in the roadway near the victim's residence when more than one of the shots fired entered the home and struck the victim. At this time, detectives do not believe the victim or her residence were the intended target of the shooting." (July 21, 2:30 p.m.) -- In a release, LBPD says it believes the victim in the 1200 block Molino homicide "engaged in a verbal altercation with at least one suspect which resulted in the shooting. Witnesses describe the suspect as adult male who was last seen fleeing the location on foot." (July 21, 2019, 6:45 a.m., updated w/ Mayor Tweet and LBREPORT.com response, 10:40 a.m.) -- Long Beach just had its 39th and 40th shooting crime scenes (fatal + wounding + no-persons-hit) within 75 days (since May 7). They are both homicides and occurred a little over a mile apart within a little over three hours of each other. In the first fatal shooting, a woman (adult) was the unintended victim. She was inside her residence in the area of 10th St./Alamitos Ave. when outside gunfire sent a bullet into her house that struck and killed her (border 1st/6th Council districts.) A little over three hours later, a man (adult) was fatally shot in the street in the 1200 block of Molino Ave. (just south of Anaheim St, 4th Council district.) They are 15th and 16th homicides of 2019 and the 1st in the 4th district. (Councilman Supernaw's 4th dist. has had four shooting crime scenes in 2019, seven if one counts those on or near 4th dist. borders with the 2nd 6th or 5th dists.) The two homicides come just over a week after a man was shot/wounded in the area of 14th/Chestnut (1st dist., coverage here) a little over a mile north of LB's gleaming new Civic Center (new City Hall set to open July 29.)
