A Virginia man has been arrested in Orlando, Florida, and charged with murder and arson in the connection to the death of Joshua Emmanuel Koramoah, the older brother of Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.
Ronald Ivan Scott, 33, of Hampton, Virginia, was in police custody in Orlando on Thursday night, Hampton Police announced.
Scott's relationship to Joshua, if any, was not clear, the Associated Press reported.
Joshua's body was found inside his burned townhouse on Tuesday morning, police had said, and his death was being investigated as a homicide.
The 23-year-old former William & Mary football player was a science teacher at a high school near his Hampton residence.
Jeremiah, a 22-year-old second-round draft pick of the Browns in 2021, was attending a football camp in his father's native Ghana when he learned of his brother's death. He since flew home.
A former high school teammate of Joshua's at Bethel High, where Jeremiah also attended, said the Koramoah brothers were extremely close.
"I don't know of anyone who would be closer than those two," Drew Barker told the AP.
"They were never not sticking together," he added. "They always played every sport together.
"They were literally thick as thieves in the sense of sticking together and having each other's back. They were best friends as well."
