Cincinnati police have arrested a fifth suspect in a violent brawl that occurred in downtown Cincinnati on July 26. The suspect, Patrick Rosemond, 38, was taken into custody by the FBI and Atlanta Metropolitan Major Offender’s Task Force in Fulton County, Georgia. Authorities have released his mugshot, which is now available to the public. Rosemond is charged with two counts of felonious assault, aggravated riot, and one count of fugitive from justice. He is currently being held in the Fulton County Jail while awaiting extradition to Ohio. The incident, which left six people injured, including one with a brain injury, has sparked widespread concern within the local community.
Rosemond, a Cincinnati resident, does not have any registered addresses in Georgia, according to records obtained by Fox News Digital. This has raised questions about his current whereabouts and potential involvement in other criminal activities. The FBI’s Atlanta office has publicly expressed support for the ongoing investigation, stating on social media, “We’re proud to support our partners in getting violent offenders off the streets.” The case has been widely shared on social media and has generated significant public interest, with some calling for improved safety measures and greater community vigilance.
To date, five suspects have been arrested, including Jermaine Matthews, Montianez Merriweather, DeKyra Vernon, and Dominique Kittle. These individuals face a range of charges, including felonious assault and aggravated riot. The ongoing investigation continues, with a grand jury set to meet on August 8. The community remains on edge, with residents expressing concerns about the rising levels of violence and crime in the area. Local authorities have not yet made any public statements about the long-term implications of the case or potential changes to local policing strategies.
