Michael Alex Toloai, 36, was shot and killed in Long Beach in the early morning hours of August 15, 2023. Officers responding to a reported shooting in the 3400 block of Andy Street found Toloai with gunshot wounds to his upper body; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the head. Initial reports say Toloai was homeless at the time of his death.

Long Beach homicide detectives identified 40-year-old Justin Jackson of Los Angeles as a suspect, alleging the two were acquaintances and the killing arose from a dispute between them. Jackson was located and arrested on September 5, 2023, and was booked on charges of murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm, with bail set at $3 million. The investigation remains open as detectives continue to gather information about the circumstances of the killing.

If anyone knew Michael, his whereabouts before August 15, or has information about the dispute with Jackson, please share what is known.
