Authorities in Patterson are currently searching for a suspect following a fatal stabbing that took place last week. According to a social media post from Patterson Police Services, deputies were called to the scene in the 200 block of El Circulo on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at about 1:15 p.m. after reports of the incident surfaced.
The suspect, identified as Geronimo Flores, remains at large; efforts to locate him have not borne fruit. To put it plainly, Flores has evaded capture, and his current whereabouts hover in the murky unknown.

They have made a public appeal for anyone with information that could lead to Flores's arrest, impressing upon the community their pivotal role in the dispensation of justice.
