The 9-1-1 call captured the urgency and chaos of the situation, as the boy provided the address, revealing a distressing scene at 222 Summer’s Height. The dispatcher worked tirelessly to gather crucial information while responding to the alarming nature of the call.
Upon arriving at the scene, Henderson police discovered the six-year-old boy covered in blood, having sustained 25 stab wounds, including a severe injury to his neck. Body cam footage revealed Officer Patrick McCarrick’s initial encounter with Rodriguez, who was armed with a pair of scissors and exhibited signs of self-harm.
A brief struggle ensued, leading to Rodriguez gaining control of Officer McCarrick’s handgun, firing a shot before Officer Edward Little responded with two shots, one of which proved fatal. Rodriguez was pronounced dead at Sunrise Trauma Hospital, while the young boy underwent emergency surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
The investigation uncovered a bloody knife in the master bedroom and a mattress stained with blood, emphasizing the severity of the incident. Despite neighbors expressing shock at the tragedy, some recalled witnessing Rodriguez yelling at her son in public, though no reports of child abuse had been made.

An autopsy revealed no presence of drugs in Rodriguez’s system, leading investigators to believe she was experiencing a mental breakdown and was suicidal at the time of the incident. In 2021, it was announced that neither Officer McCarrick nor Officer Little would face criminal charges, bringing closure to a distressing chapter that underscores the challenges of mental health crises and their tragic consequences.
