Incident Summary-

On 2/20/2022, at approximately 6:20 p.m., the Petaluma Police Department received a 9-1-1 call regarding a stabbing at Steamer Landing Park. As officers responded to the scene, the involved suspect fled the scene toward downtown Petaluma with the knife. 

Officers arrived on the scene and located the victim alert and conscious with multiple stab wounds. The Petaluma Fire Department Paramedics transported the victim to the hospital, where the stab wounds were determined none-life-threatening. 

During the investigation, officers determined the victim was involved in an argument with an unknown subject over a missing tablet device approximately three hours before the stabbing. At approximately 6:20 p.m., the unknown individual returned to Steamer Landing Park with Angel Recinos-Guevara. At that time, Recinos-Guevara stabbed the victim multiple times in the torso with a fixed blade “kitchen knife.”   Recinos-Guevara fled on foot toward the downtown area immediately after the stabbing. 

Recinos-Guevara was positively identified as the individual that stabbed the victim, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. The Petaluma Police Department is actively investigating this incident, and if anyone has any further information, please contact the Petaluma Police Department at 707-778-4372, or utilize [email protected].
