Juan Pollo Garfias, 43, of Long Beach was fatally shot on July 24, 2022, in the Wrigley neighborhood after a dispute with a neighbor. The shooting happened near his daughter’s home, where he often spent time with friends; officers found Garfias with a gunshot wound to his upper body and he died at a local hospital shortly after arrival.

Long Beach police say the neighbor, 29-year-old Javier Jauregui, pulled a gun during the altercation. Jauregui was arrested on suspicion of murder after barricading himself in a nearby residence; SWAT took him into custody and two other people were detained for questioning. Jauregui was booked on one count of murder with $2 million bail, and investigators executed a search warrant at his home, seizing multiple firearms and ammunition.

Family described Garfias as kind-hearted and funny when sober and noted his love for family despite struggling with drug addiction. Homicide detectives continue to investigate; anyone with information is asked to contact the Long Beach Police Department.
