LONG BEACH – Breaking News arrived on February 10th when detectives from the Special Investigation Division announced the pinpoint and 02/09/2022 murder-arrest of Armando Train (25), of Long Beach at approximately 10:45 AM. The update of the homicide investigation comes on the heels of the ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Eduardo Alonso (30) – a homeless man.

Train was booked on one count each of murder, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of narcotics, and a parole violation. While he is tucked away at Long Beach City Jail on $2,000,000 bail, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will be presented the case early next week for filing consideration.
