Tyrone Crawford, 64, was fatally shot on January 14, 2025, in the 3000 block of Gold Star Drive in Long Beach, California. First reported as a possible suicide, investigators later determined Crawford had sustained a life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Long Beach homicide detectives identified a roommate, 30-year-old Trayen Gaston, as a suspect. Gaston was at the address when officers arrived and was taken into custody. Detectives recovered evidence tying Gaston to the shooting and booked him on multiple charges, including one count of murder and counts for being a prohibited possessor in possession of a firearm and of ammunition. Bail was set at $2,000,000.

The motive remains under investigation and detectives are continuing to gather information about the circumstances. If anyone has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
