Long Beach officer killed 17-year-old boy during standoff, police say

Long Beach police said Monday that a person killed during a standoff with officers last month was a 17-year-old boy. On the night of April 26, police were called to a home in the 6800 block of Cerritos Avenue, where a male with a gun was reported to have broken in and demanded items from a teenager and two adults inside, the Long Beach Police Department said in a statement. The teenager, found in the yard of the residence, was believed to be armed, police said.

Officers recovered a replica firearm from the scene, the police statement reads. The teenager was from San Bernardino. His name was not released. Officers wore body cameras, and the Police Department will make footage available to the public after it is reviewed, the department said.
