Santa Rosa police have identified the victim and the suspect in a Saturday murder case.
According to the police, Patrick Franklin Schieber, 43, allegedly killed his father, David Schieber, 72.
Officers found David Schieber dead in his living room.
At around 9:48 a.m., police officers responded to the 3500 block of Sweetgum Street after a 911 call. They found Patrick Schieber standing outside the house.
Police say the younger man assaulted his father with “a rock that was larger than a baseball, but smaller than a softball.”

Officers arrested Schieber on suspicion of murder and booked him into the Sonoma County Jail.
