The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office identified him as the victim and launched an investigation into his death.
The circumstances surrounding Patterson's death were particularly harrowing.
He was found with gunshot wounds and was rushed to a hospital, where he later died. The investigation revealed that he was shot just an hour before his birthday began, adding a poignant layer to the tragedy. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made in connection with his murder.
