Police arrested a 54-year-old man for allegedly shooting another man to death and wounding two others in North Long Beach last year.
Long Beach police say Will Moses Palmer allegedly shot 55-year-old Compton resident Tyrant Otee Walker and two other men in the 6800 block of Coachella Avenue around 9:15 p.m. on Jan. 18, 2025.
LBPD officers treated the victims at the scene until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived and took them to a hospital, police said. There, Walker died of his injuries.
After identifying Palmer as a suspect in the killing, LBPD detectives located and arrested him in the 3100 block of East Willow Street on Tuesday, police said.
Palmer was booked for murder, according to the LBPD. His bail was set at $4 million.
The incident is being investigated as possibly gang related, according to police.
A gang-related crime is one committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with any criminal street gang, according to the LBPD.
Authorities are asking anyone with information on the shootings to contact Homicide Detectives Leticia Gamboa and Oscar Valenzuela at 562-570-7244.
