ST. CLOUD, Fla. — A St. Cloud man and two men from Ohio are facing charges in a 2006 homicide, according to the Ohio news source, Geauga County Maple Leaf.
The Maple Leaf reports that a Geauga County grand jury handed down a five-count indictment against Joseph Rosebrook, 59, of St. Cloud, Florida, Carl "Jeff" Rosebrook, 57, and Chad South, 45, who are both from Ohio.
The three men are suspected of killing Daniel Ott in 2006.
According to multiple sources, it was a "hit" gone bad, as South, the suspected hitman, allegedly killed the wrong Daniel Ott. Ott shared a name with another Northeast Ohio resident who was a federally convicted car thief and a reputed associate of Joseph Rosebrook, the Bellefontaine Examiner reported.
Carl Rosebrook is the brother of Joseph Rosebrook. He is believed to be the "bag man" for his older brother, who is suspected of ordering the hit that killed the wrong Daniel Ott, sources told the Maple Leaf.
The five counts are conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, aggravated murder with prior calculation and design, aggravated murder during the commission of aggravated burglary, kidnapping of Ott and kidnapping of Ott's then-girlfriend, Maryann Ricker, a report said.
The elder Rosebrook was arrested in Florida, where he moved after his release from prison in March 2014 after serving a 10-year prison sentence. He is awaiting extradition to Ohio.
South's bail was set at $3 million, and Carl Rosebrook's bail was set at $1 million.
