Long Beach Police are investigating the shooting death of a 24-year-old Los Angeles man who was gunned down in the courtyard of a North Long Beach apartment complex Tuesday night as gang-related, police said Wednesday.
Long Beach Police responding to a call of shots fired at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday arrived at the residence in the 2700 block of East 57th Street and found the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
The victim was identified as 24-year-old Comontray Lenoir of Los Angeles, Pratt said.
He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body and torso, she added.
Those responsible for the shooting and the motive for Lenoir's slaying are unknown; however, detectives are investigating the shooting as a gang-related incident, Pratt explained.
And the investigation remains ongoing, she said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Long Beach Police Homicide Detectives William Matsubara and Todd Johnson at 562-570-7244.

Poor Baby, I know Commontray Personally, and Im really sadden by this. I wish, our young people would really wake up and smell the coffee. People dont have respect for human life. And it a shame. They continue to parade around with the asses on their shoulder. Thinking they own the world. I pray for the family and his girlfreind and Two kids, and as well as the one unborn. Good Bless Commontray, he knows you well a good youngman... Love ya
