2 men fatally shot after breaking into Long Beach home; 1 suspect knew resident, police say
by: Kristina Bravo, Erika Martin, Steve Kuzj
Two men were shot dead after breaking into the home of a person one of them knew in Long Beach early Tuesday morning, police said.A resident on the 1000 block of Almond Court, near 11th Street, reported around 12:10 a.m. that he’d opened fire on an intruder, Long Beach police said in a news release.
Officers who responded to the scene found 18-year-old Jose Perez of Long Beach inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso. Sergio Pacheco, a 25-year-old Long Beach man, was found laying in the street with gunshot wounds to his upper torso a few blocks away, on the 1100 block of Gundry Avenue, according to investigators.
Paramedics attempted life-saving measures, but the men died at the scene, officials said.
An earlier statement from Long Beach police provided incorrect information on the locations where officers found the men, police said Wednesday.
Both Pacheco and Perez are considered suspects in the break-in.
Pacheco and one of the home’s residents “were at one time associates,” detectives said in the news release. The Police Department declined to provide further details on the nature of their relationship.
Investigators believe the two slain men arrived at the home unannounced, forced their way in and assaulted two people inside. The resident then grabbed a gun and opened fire, officials said.
Police say Perez collapsed in the street while fleeing the scene.

Have an LCR in .357 but use .38 +P because ouch.
Laser grip sucks unless you bulid up the button with
liquid electrical tape. Neat trick but the grip still
sucks so it’s on my list of things I probably will
never get to.
Had one in .22 LR but sold it because not enough bang.
I heard it was gifted to an elderly woman. Nice.
You can carry one sans holster in a front jeans pocket
and nobody gonna know.
“WW grins.” He’s not the only one. Imma gonna score this one as a full house, Aces and 8s. FIRST time in awhile that we’ve had that kinda score. You know the stabbie had to be a little sketchy, along with the stabbor. Hmmmm? I wonder who was the FIRST to Earn an Aces and 8s on a certain inherwebz contest?
‘beans is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you glad to see us?
Speaking of Aces and 8s…and bulges in britches, had it not of been for the Chinese Communist Originated Virus Infecting Disease of 2019, I would have been enjoying the “Bingo Brunch” here today. DAAAAAAAANNMM IIITT!!!!!!!!!!!

Those folks seem to have the drill down: Two to the body, if still attacking one to the head.
You are a GO at this station, continue to practice, but not required.
THESE folks remembered their range time. Stuck in Houston, all the ranges are closed right now, ouch! Two itchy trigger fingers!
One important card to remember… tunless you have a queen kicker, aces and eights is only 4/5 of the real dead man’s hand.
Some schools of thought/research/evidence ect have it that Wild Bill actually had 3 Aces, an 8, and the Jack of Spades. Either way, he’s still dead Jim, there is only ONE (1) that has made not only a 5 in a row ACE of FIRST on the TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread, there is also only ONE (1) who has made an unprecedented Eight (8) in a row, AND an Eleven (11) in a row. Therefore The King of Battle holds the ACES and Eight, plus the Jack (11). Game, Set, AND Match to the Winner of Wars.
