Following months of investigation, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office has apprehended 40-year-old Miguel L. Rodriguez in connection with an attempted murder case dating back to October this year. The incident, a stabbing at Old Princeton Landing, took place on Oct. 5 at approximately 12:15 a.m., where a 29-year-old victim sustained injuries but has since recovered. An announcement by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office details the arrest of Rodriguez yesterday, without incident, and his booking into Maguire Correctional Facility on charges of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Investigators had obtained a warrant for Rodriguez's arrest in late November, following a thorough probe that encompassed substantial evidence gathering. After releasing photos of the suspect to the public the day after the stabbing, community tips eventually led to Rodriguez's identification. The initial call brought deputies to the Old Princeton Landing, located at 460 Capistrano Rd., where they found the 29-year-old victim in need of urgent medical care. The sheriff's statement acknowledged the crucial role the community and the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office played in the case.
In parallel, authorities are currently seeking assistance in identifying a person of interest related to another stabbing incident at the same location. Hoodline reports that an altercation turned violent at the Old Princeton Landing bar, resulting in the stabbing of another 29-year-old victim, now in stable condition. The suspect is described as a bald Hispanic man in his mid-30s, with a possible neck tattoo. According to Hoodline, the Sheriff’s deputies arrived shortly after midnight on Oct. 5 and have collected evidence, including a knife believed to be linked to the crime.
