On January 6, 2023, at about 8:32 p.m., 20-year-old Long Beach resident Isaiah Saucedo was found with multiple gunshot wounds near his vehicle in the 5500 block of Long Beach Boulevard. He had been seated in the driver’s seat when an unknown assailant approached and shot him multiple times; Long Beach Fire Department medics attempted lifesaving measures but Saucedo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives initially assigned to the Special Investigations Division described the suspect fleeing on foot in an unknown direction and said the motive was unclear. On January 27, 2023, detectives arrested two teenage suspects in Long Beach — a 16-year-old male near East 49th Street and a 15-year-old male on Tehachapi Drive. Both juveniles were booked on charges of murder and robbery and held without bail pending referral to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. The investigation remained ongoing and detectives continued to seek information.
