Man Who Stabbed His Mother and Then Himself Shot by Long Beach Cop

On November 08, 2023, at approximately 0857 hours, officers were dispatched to the 300 block of 69th Way regarding a stabbing call. Officers were advised by dispatch that the suspect stabbed his mother, a female adult victim, who was hiding in a room with another relative who was uninjured.  
Upon arrival, officers contacted the male adult suspect inside of a residence holding a knife. Officers ordered the suspect to drop the knife; the suspect refused and raised the knife while advancing toward the officer, at which point the officer-involved shooting occurred.

The preliminary investigation indicates the suspect stabbed the victim prior to officers’ arrival, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries.

Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the suspect to a local hospital. The suspect was later discovered to also have stab wounds to his upper body. The suspect, identified as Eriberto Penaloza, a 38-year-old resident of Long Beach, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

Fire department personnel also transported the victim to a local hospital for her non-life-threatening injuries.
