3 Young Men Shot After Argument at Intersection

Two suspects were behind bars Wednesday in connection with the shooting of three young men at a Long Beach intersection.

One of the victims dated the sister of one of the suspects, who was angry about how she was being treated by the victim, said Long Beach Police Sgt. Bill Snow. The victims, two 17-year-olds and a 15-year-old, were at Obispo Avenue and 15th Street when the suspects drove up in a vehicle, got out and confronted them, said Snow. An argument ensued and one of the suspects then opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, wounding the victims, Snow said. The suspects fled, but information developed by detectives on the Career Criminal Apprehension Team led to the arrests of the suspects at about 6 p.m. Tuesday, Snow said.
