Authorities ID Man Killed In Long Beach Shooting

LONG BEACH, CA — Authorities have identified a man who was fatally shot in Long Beach on Thursday morning.

The Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office identified the man as 68-year-old Long Beach Rudolph Anthony Lopez.

Authorities say Lopez was in the driveway of a home in the 2000 block of East Harding Street around 5:17 a.m. when another man shot him multiple times in the head. He died at the scene, according to police.

The man suspected of shooting him, 24-year-old Long Beach resident Garrett Remillard, was arrested shortly after in the area of 49th Street and Del Amo Boulevard, according to police. He appeared to be having a mental health crisis when officers found him and made comments incriminating himself in the deadly shooting, police said.

It's still unclear what prompted the shooting, and the circumstances remain under investigation. But police said in a statement Friday morning that Remillard and Lopez knew each other.

The LBPD asks that anyone with more information on the shooting contact detectives at 562-570-7244.
