Corey Banks, a 24-year-old resident of Long Beach, California, was shot and killed on the evening of October 15, 2011. The incident occurred just before 9:00 PM near 53rd Street and Atlantic Avenue, where officers responding to reports of gunfire found three men suffering from gunshot wounds. Banks was transported to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
Two other men were also injured—one critically, while the other was treated and released after sustaining a gunshot wound to his lower body.
Authorities indicated that the shooting appeared to be gang-related, but the suspects involved remained at large following the incident. Investigators called on the public for any information that could help solve the case.
