A 23-year-old Long Beach man was gunned down late Saturday in an area known for gang violence and police were still searching for his killer or killers Monday, authorities said.
Long Beach Police officers were called to the area of Orange Avenue and 11th Street around 11 p.m. Saturday and found the victim, identified as Jesus Nava, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body, said Nancy Pratt, an LBPD spokeswoman.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later, Pratt said.
The motive for the slaying was unknown, but police are investigating it as possibly gang-related, she said.
There was also no suspect description available, Pratt said.
Anyone with information about the killing is urged to call Homicide Detectives Patrick O'Dowd and Terri Hubert at 562-570-7244.
