On Monday, Jan. 25, 2010, The Times launched a new version of the Homicide Report. You have arrived at the old blog.

Readers can no longer post new comments on this site, but we encourage you to join the conversation on our new site. The updated Homicide Report features an interactive map and searchable database of the more than 2,600 homicides in L.A. County since January 2007, when Times' reporter Jill Leovy first started this blog with the goal of covering each one.

Comments prior to Jan. 26 will, at least for now, remain archived here, with links provided in the new database.

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail homicidereport@latimes.com, and we will do our best to respond.

Long Beach: Robert Tripple, 20

The location where Robert Tripple was shot.

Robert Tripple, a 20-year-old black man, died on Monday, Sept. 14, after he was shot in the 200 block of West 20th Street in Long Beach, authorities said.

Long Beach police responded to a shots fired call at about 10:45 p.m. and found Tripple and two other men suffering from gunshot wounds, according to a statement released by the Long Beach Police Department.

Tripple and his companions -- unidentified 19- and 20-year-old men from Long Beach -- had "a verbal exchange" with two other men in front of a residence, according to the statement.

The shooters opened fire on Tripple and the other two men. The two unidentified men were treated for nonlife-threatening injuries. Tripple was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Long Beach Police.

The shooting is being investigated as gang-related, according to Long Beach Police. No suspect descriptions were available.

Anyone with information is asked to call Long Beach Police Department Dets. William Matsubara or Todd Johnson at (562) 570-5273.
