Homicide detectives are searching for a man who allegedly stabbed his father to death inside the victim's Rocky Point home, the Suffolk County Police Department said Sunday.

Officers responding to a 911 call about 1:25 a.m. Saturday arrived at the home on Quail Road to find Joseph Zoll, 61, with stab wounds, according to a previous police press release. Zoll was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the release said.

In an updated release Sunday, the department said Matthew Zoll, 23, "is wanted for the murder of his father, Joseph Zoll."

Matthew Zoll is 6-1 and 150 pounds, police said in the release. He has brown hair, brown eyes and a small scar under his left eye, police said, adding that he was "not believed to have a vehicle."

Additional information, including what led up to the stabbing or Matthew Zoll's residence, was not immediately available Sunday.

Police are asking anyone with information about Matthew Zoll’s whereabouts to call 911, the Homicide Squad at 631-852-6392 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
