Long Beach, California: Teen Home Invasion Suspect Fatally Shot by Police
A tragic incident unfolded in Long Beach, California, last month when a 17-year-old home invasion suspect was fatally shot by police. The suspect, identified as Brandon Ramon Salgado of San Bernardino, lost his life during a confrontation with law enforcement on the night of April 26.
Details of the Incident
The incident took place on the 6800 block of Cerritos Avenue in Long Beach. Police received a report of a person with a gun at a residence, which turned out to be a home invasion robbery in progress.

Law enforcement officers engaged in a dialogue with the teen for over an hour in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. A SWAT team was called in, preparing to intervene, when the suspect was ultimately shot by police. The exact circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear.
