A shooting that left two minors injured is under investigation.Officials with the Long Beach Police Department said a 12-year-old was killed and a second juvenile remains hospitalized after they were struck by gunfire during a shooting late Tuesday night.
The shooting was reported around 11:55 p.m. near Lewis and Hill Streets. Several residents in the area said they were woken up by a string of gunfire. "It’s kind of crazy. I just heard the shots and five minutes later, the whole block was blocked off," a neighbor who wished to remain anonymous told FOX 11.
The two young victims were taken to the hospital for treatment. One of the victims, identified by family members as 12-year-old Eric Gregory Brown, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
