The suspect was captured in Orlando, Florida, and charged with one count of murder and one count of arson in Hampton, Virginia.

ORLANDO, Fla. — A man has been arrested in connection to the death of 23-year-old Joshua Emmanuel Owusu-Koramoah, the brother of Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.

Thirty-three-year-old Ronald Ivan Scott, of Hampton, Virginia, was charged with one count of murder and one count of arson. Scott was arrested in Orlando, Florida, and is in custody at the Orange County Jail.

The incident took place Tuesday morning in Hampton. Police and firefighters responded to a home in the 400 block of Lake Tower Drive and found Owusu-Koramoah dead inside, along with evidence of a fire.
