LONG BEACH, CA (April 3, 2023) – Tuesday, Sara Nicole Shorteno was killed and Chaz Long was arrested after a pursuit collision on 2nd Street.
Authorities responded to the scene around 8:00 p.m., near Marina Drive and Pacific Coast Highway on March 28th.
Officers initially stopped the driver of a silver 2006 Lexus occupied by a couple with a baby for a violation in the area. The male passenger, later identified as Long then jumped into the driver’s seat and drove away.

Police officers then tased and arrested 39-year-old Chaz Lamar Long, of Antioch after he attempted to flee on foot. Officers later determined that he had an outstanding federal warrant for weapons violations.
In addition, medics transported the woman and an infant inside the suspect vehicle to a nearby hospital for treatment and observation. Meanwhile, crews pronounced a passenger inside one of the vehicles that was hit, 74-year-old Shorteno, dead at the scene.
