Authorities continue to pursue suspects after a fourth individual was apprehended in relation to a violent brawl in Cincinnati on July 26.

According to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department website, Dominique Kittle has been charged with aggravated rioting and misdemeanor assault. He appeared in court for the first time on Saturday morning, where his bond was set at $150,000. His lawyer noted in court that Kittle has paranoid schizophrenia.

The other individuals arrested in connection with the brawl include Jermaine Matthews, Montianez Merriweather, and Dekyra Vernon.

Dominique Kittle is the fourth person to be arrested in connection to a violent brawl that took place in Cincinnati on July 26.

Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge disclosed that although around 100 witnesses or participants were present during the altercation, only one person contacted the police.

“It’s unacceptable not to inform the police,” Theetge stated. “Traffic was terrible. People witnessed this. The fight occurred right in front of traffic. Why did no one call us?”

At a Friday news briefing, Theetge characterized the fight as “an act of violence that impacted us all.” She promised to hold those responsible accountable and urged the public to report violence to law enforcement.

“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 at the news conference on Friday.

The FBI and the Justice Department have confirmed an open federal investigation into the beatdown.

“The FBI has been and will continue closely coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department on this matter,” the federal law enforcement group told Fox News Digital on July 30.
