Three men and two women were behind bars on Tuesday, Sept. 20, accused of being involved in the killing of a South Gate man found dead along the shoreline in Long Beach last year or of a subsequent crime tied to the case, authorities said. Long Beach police made three arrests on Sept. 1 and Sept. 13, police said this week. Two others were already in custody for unrelated allegations. On April 26, 2021, Long Beach Harbor Patrol units were near Pier F when they saw a decomposing body floating near the water's edge.
