Authorities Tuesday announced a dozen arrests in connection with a
gang-related shooting at a Long Beach party last fall that left three
men dead and nine other people wounded.
The shooting occurred about
10:40 p.m. last Oct. 29 at a Halloween-themed party in the 2700 block of
East 7th Street in the Rose Park area. Maurice Poe Jr., 25, of Long
Beach; Melvin Williams II, 35, of Gardena; and Ricardo Torres, 28, of
Inglewood, died at the scene.
Long Beach police Chief Robert Luna said
authorities from various law enforcement jurisdictions served 15 search
warrants, seven in Long Beach and eight in various other cities, and
made arrests from Sept. 2-5. He said two of the 12 suspects were already
in custody on unrelated crimes.
About 25-30 people were in the backyard
of the home when suspects opened fire into the crowd from the alley,
the chief said.
“Ballistics confirmed that the shots were fired from
three different handguns,'' Luna said during a morning briefing on the
case.
