On August 29, 2019, 35-year-old Daniel Siordia of Paramount was found dead in the yard of a residence in the 1200 block of W. Hill Street in Long Beach. Officers arrived about 6:30 p.m. after a report of a shooting and found Siordia unresponsive with a gunshot wound to his upper torso; Long Beach Fire personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say Siordia had entered the property to confront the resident over a personal dispute. The confrontation became a violent physical assault on the resident, who fired a legally registered firearm and struck Siordia. The resident sustained significant injuries, was taken to a hospital, and called 9-1-1 and attempted life-saving measures. The firearm was recovered and processed by the Long Beach Police Department’s Forensic Science Services Division.

Detectives determined the resident acted in self-defense and did not arrest him; the investigation remained active and detectives asked anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have details about the dispute or witnessed the incident that evening?
