A Clearlake man, faces murder charges and remains in custody. Martin Jimenez-Patricio, 55, has a jury trial set for January 2026, following a defense motion to continue. Earlier, Dr. Thomas Rodriguez and Dr. Taylor Fithian deemed him competent to stand trial, leading to the reinstatement of criminal proceedings. Earlier in the year, there was a question as to whether Jimenez-Patricio was competent to stand trial and evaluations were ordered. The charges relate to a December incident where Clearlake Police found a deceased person on James Street; Jimenez was later identified as a suspect and arrested.
