The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a suspect in a recent homicide case, according to an official press release.
Sac Sheriff is reportedly looking for Dinette Eugene Patterson, 38, in connection to the stabbing death of a male in his early 40s in the 5600 block of Florin Road the evening of Friday, March 7. Officers reportedly responded to the area at 8 pm on March 7 and found the stabbing victim, who was declared deceased at the scene by medical personnel.
According to Sac Sheriff, Patterson is described as a black male, 5’11”, weighing approximately 195 pounds. Patterson is reportedly a long time associate of the man who was killed. The motive for the homicide has reportedly yet to be identified and Sheriff’s Homicide Detectives are continuing to investigate the incident.
