The fifth suspect linked to the brutal and racially charged mob attack that rocked Cincinnati’s business district last month has been arrested in Georgia.
It can be recalled that Cincinnati police have identified at least four suspects in the brutal beatings of a white man and white woman by a mostly Black mob Friday night in the downtown area of the city, according to the local Fraternal Order of Police and Fox News.
Videos and screen images of the attack went viral over the weekend, drawing comments from Ohio native Vice President J.D. Vance, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division Harmeet Dhillon who said she is monitoring the case and Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH).
