A Long Beach man was charged with voluntary manslaughter today in connection with the fatal beating of a 46-year-old man in North Long Beach last month, authorities said.

Jahquan Hardesty, 25, remains released after posting an increased bond of $100,000, Long Beach officials stated.

Hardesty is suspected of physically assaulting Isaac Smith of Anaheim on March 28, following an argument while attending a small gathering together, police said.

Officers arrived at the residential housing complex in the 6800 block of Obispo Avenue at about 5:30 p.m. and performed live-saving measures for “a visible injury Smith sustained to his upper torso,” officials said.

Paramedics arrived shortly after and transported the victim to a local hospital.

Witnesses directed officers to Hardesty who was still at the scene and took him into custody without incident.

He was booked into Long Beach City Jail for serious bodily injury, but later released when he posted $50,000 bail.

Four days after Smith died from his injuries on March 30, detectives presented their case to the district attorney’s office.

Anyone with information on the incident is urged to call LBPD’s violent crimes detectives Ethan Shear and Tim Redshaw at 562-570-7250.
