Roosevelt Newton, 34, of Long Beach, was shot near Orange Avenue and East Washington Street on December 10, 2015 and died of his wounds on December 11, 2015. Long Beach police responded shortly before 2:30 p.m. on December 10 to a call reporting an assault with a deadly weapon and found Newton suffering from gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 4:52 p.m. on December 11.

Investigators say Newton was approached by a man who shot him. Long Beach Homicide detectives identified 23-year-old Keonte Jones of Los Angeles as the primary suspect. Jones was taken into custody after a separate armed carjacking and vehicle pursuit incident on January 16, 2016; detectives linked him to Newton’s murder and on January 22, 2016 the case was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, which filed murder charges. Jones was held on $4,000,000 bail and arraigned January 27, 2016, with a further court date set for February 16, 2016.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Roosevelt who can add details about the shooting or Newton’s movements that day?
