A gunman was still at large Tuesday after four people were wounded, including a teenager, one night earlier, police said.
The shooting was reported in the 1600 block of E. 10th Street Monday night, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Investigators say it may have been gang-related.
A woman, two men, and a 17-year-old boy were struck by gunfire, police said.
