Long Beach police are investigating a murder that happened Wednesday night on the Pacific Coast Highway.
Officers responded to the 1000 block of East PCH at the intersection with Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue around 8:10 p.m. for a report of a shooting.
At the scene, they found a 36-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body. Officers provided first aid until paramedics arrived and transported the man to the hospital where he later died.
He was identified Thursday by the Long Beach Police Department as Korey Brown of Long Beach.
