With No Arrests In June Homicide, Long Beach Police Look To Public For Answers

LONG BEACH, CA — Long Beach police detectives have released a video of a suspect in a fatal June shooting as they look to the public for answers.

The newly released footage shows a man walking on video surveillance before the fatal shooting on June 27, the Long Beach Police Department announced Wednesday.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 5400 block of Paramount Boulevard just before 8 p.m., police said.

When officers arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound to his upper body, according to police. Officers helped the man until Long Beach Fire rescuers arrived and declared the man dead at the scene, police said.

A motive for the shooting was initially unclear, but through an investigation, detectives determined 34-year-old Dajion Hunter was shot during a robbery, according to police.

The suspect is described as being a man in his 20s or 30s, “wearing a light blue or teal hat, a red shirt, a light-colored zip-up hooded sweater, blue jeans, and black shoes,” according to police.

Detectives believe the man may “frequent the Northpointe Apartments in the 5400 block of Paramount Boulevard,” police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Homicide Detectives Michael Hubbard and Kelsey Myers at 562-570-7244.
