Sadly, it’s not just river bike paths that are in need of greater security.

The Long Beach Police Department reports that a 28 year old man was found stabbed to death on the Long Beach bike trail on Tuesday night.

A 28-year-old Long Beach man was found
stabbed to death on the bicycle path along the Los Angeles River flood
control channel near the 1600 block of San Francisco Avenue on Tuesday
night.

Long Beach police officers responded to an unidentified 911
caller who reported a wounded man on the east side of the flood
channel, some 250 yards south of Pacific Coast Highway, about 8:40
p.m., according to an Long Beach Police Department statement.

Anyone who happened to be on the trail near that location at the time of the stabbing should call LBPD homicide detectives Dennis Robbins and Daniel Mendoza at 562-570-7244.
