Authorities launched an investigation and identified Sherrod as a suspect, officials said.
It was later determined Sherrod killed Patterson near a body of water under a bridge in the 4500 block of State Road 7 in Davie, BSO officials said.
Sherrod was booked into jail and also faces an aggravated battery charge. He refused to appear before a judge, who ordered him held without bond.
