Charles Ogletree, 42, was fatally shot in an apartment on Atlantic Avenue near Broadway in Long Beach on January 30, 2022. Long Beach police responded to reports of gunshots about 9:30 p.m.; the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner records show Ogletree was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper and lower body.

Police say a small group had been in the apartment when an argument between Ogletree and another adult male escalated. Investigators allege the other man produced a firearm and fired multiple times. Detectives identified and later arrested 42‑year‑old Stanley Shaw of Turlock; searches at addresses in Pacoima and Turlock reportedly turned up evidence linking Shaw to the shooting. Shaw was booked on one count of murder and held on $2,000,000 bail, and the case was sent to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

The motive is still under investigation, though authorities say Ogletree and Shaw were acquainted and the dispute led to the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Long Beach Police Department.
