Jaime Ruiz, 36, of Long Beach was shot and killed on the night of November 22, 2019, near Magnolia Avenue and 15th Street in the Washington neighborhood. Officers were dispatched about 10:55 p.m. after a call about gunshots; paramedics took Ruiz to a local hospital but he died of multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.

Police say Ruiz and two other people were standing outside a residence when a male suspect approached, exchanged words with the group and opened fire. The other two individuals were not injured. The suspect fled before officers arrived; no description has been released. The Long Beach Police Department is treating the case as gang-related but has not announced a motive or made any arrests.

The department increased patrols and investigative resources after this and other recent shootings and is asking anyone with information to contact investigators or use anonymous tip lines. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved who could help the investigation?
