Darong Yi was a 25-year-old man from Long Beach, California, who was killed on April 3, 2009. His death occurred during a concentrated wave of violence in Long Beach when several homicides happened over a few days, contributing to a higher local toll that year and to California’s 2009 homicide rate of 5.1 per 100,000 people.

State reporting from 2009 noted that many homicides that year were tied to gang activity, domestic disputes, or other criminal acts, and law enforcement in Long Beach faced challenges resolving some violent crimes, which affected clearance rates.
