The victim in the case is a lawyer who was purportedly tied to a lawsuit the victim’s client filed years ago, and a South Florida physician was detained over the weekend on a murder accusation.
The plastic surgeon accused of murdering Pinellas County attorney Steven Cozzi is Dr. Tomasz Kosowski, 44.
Authorities claim that on March 21, Cozzi attempted to exit his Blanchard Law office but was unsuccessful. On his desk, his smartphone, wallet, and keys were discovered.
Blood stains and a chemical odor were discovered by the police in the office restroom. Police then discovered via forensics that the restroom had a significant quantity of blood.
Kosowski was detained by Largo Police Department investigators on a first-degree murder charge on Sunday.
