Former Cape Cod Resident Indicted In 2021 Infant Death

BARNSTABLE, MA —Randy Patterson-Gerber, 25, formerly of Centerville, Mass., has been indicted by a Grand Jury for his role relating to the death of a 6-week-old child in September 2021.

Around Sept. 7, 2021, Barnstable Police received a call at approximately 10:25 a.m. to report an unresponsive infant.

Upon arrival, officers found the infant "unresponsive, discolored, and cool to the touch," officials said. CPR was performed while en route to Cape Cod Hospital, and the infant was later transferred to a Boston area hospital via med flight, where the child later died.

According to officials, the charges stem from an ongoing investigation by multiple agencies, including Barnstable police and the Unsolved Homicide Unit of the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office.

Patterson-Gerber will appear in the Barnstable Superior Court for an arraignment on Monday at 9 a.m.
