Tyrone Crawford Obituary, Death;- A deputy from Brazoria County was fatally shot in Houston on Wednesday while attempting to execute a warrant. Authorities reported on Wednesday that a 30-year-old man has been arrested for the alleged murder of his 64-year-old roommate in Long Beach.
At approximately 9 a.m. on Tuesday, law enforcement responded to reports of a potential suicide in the 3000 block of Gold Star Drive, located in the Upper Westside area of the city, as stated by the Long Beach Police Department.
