Fifth suspect arrested in viral Cincinnati beatdown as victim details her ‘ongoing battle’

A fifth person has been arrested in the violent Cincinnati beatdown that happened on July 26.

38-year-old Patrick Rosemond was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, and charged with two counts of felonious assault and aggravated riot, according to the Cincinnati Police Department. The other suspects arrested in connection with the incident are Dominique Kittle, Jermaine Matthews, Montianez Merriweather and Dekyra Vernon. Matthews posted bond last week.

The FBI and Atlanta Metropolitan Major Offender’s Task Force took Rosemond into custody. He will go through the extradition process before returning to Cincinnati, police said.

The beatdown happened between Elm and Fourth Streets, with videos of the incident going viral on social media. The videos show two people being attacked, which included a woman who was left unconscious after being punched and kicked several times.

Holly said in a new video posted online by Benny Johnson that she is getting medical attention and thanked Americans for donating to a fundraiser aimed at supporting her.

“Thank you for helping me get the medical attention I need and making sure I’m not homeless because I can’t work until I get better,” Holly said. “Each day, I’m feeling a little bit better and better.”

She said externally, her injuries are healing but, “internally there is a lot of damage that has been done. I’ve been in and out of hospitals and specialists, and it’s going to be an ongoing battle for a very long time.”

Out of the approximately 100 people who saw the fight, only one called 911, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge said.

“Trust me when I say this, had the Cincinnati Police Department been notified in real time, our officers would have responded with urgency and force to protect life,” Theetge said.
