The fourth of six men suspected in last year’s violent kidnapping and torture of a Sterling Heights man outside of a Macomb County gym has been charged in the case, according to prosecutors.

Romeo Osorio, 23, was extradited from Florida to be charged with the attack. He was arraigned Friday on eight criminal counts for his alleged role in the incident and remains in the Macomb County Jail.
“The charges this man faces serves as a reminder that every decision we make carries weight, and the impact can be profound. Justice will be pursued diligently, ensuring accountability for those who choose to disregard the law and endanger the lives of others,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a statement.

Shelby Township police have not publicly said yet what the connection between the 24-year-old victim and suspects is as the case is still under investigation but emphasized it wasn’t a random incident.

According to police and prosecutors, the incident began when the 24-year-old man was carjacked at gunpoint by four armed and masked suspects outside of the Lifetime Fitness on Lakeside Boulevard north of Hall Road on Oct. 23, 2023. They restrained him in his own pickup truck and drove away.
The suspects allegedly tortured the victim, drove to his house, and entered the residence. Sterling Heights officers arrived at the victim’s home and encountered one of the suspects in the truck with the victim.

The abductor fled in the vehicle with the victim. Police chased after it before he crashed, took him into custody, and secured a loaded assault rifle that was in the truck. The others were able to escape, but several have since been arrested.
Osorio was arraigned in 41A Shelby Township District Court on charges of carjacking, armed robbery, torture, unlawful imprisonment, and four counts of conspiracy. Judge Douglas Shepherd set bond at $3 million, cash only.

A probable cause hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. March 11.
Osorio is the fourth defendant to be charged in the incident. Angel Andujar-Ruiz, Angel Pantoja, and Renado Coleman have already been arraigned.

For 6 men to target & torture 1 man, there's a much bigger story not being told.
The 6 wanted to know something the victim knew, nothing in the house was stolen.
