COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man accused of killing a 21-year-old Ohio State University student is expected to be arraigned on multiple felony counts Monday, and the prosecutor could seek the death penalty, reports say.
Brian Lee Golsby, 29, of Grove City, is charged with rape, kidnapping, aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and receiving stolen property, the Lantern reports. If convicted, the charges make Golsby eligible for the death penalty.
Golsby is accused of killing Reagan Tokes of Maumee, Ohio, a suburb of Toledo. Tokes’ body was found last Thursday at Scioto Grove Metro Park in Grove City, just south of Columbus, according to 10tv.com. She had been shot twice in the head.
Tokes was last seen alive Wednesday night after finishing a work shift at a bar where she worked, the Bodega in Columbus. Police are unsure if she ever made it to her car, 10tv.com reports.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien is looking to have Golsby held in jail without bail. According to 10tv.com, Golsby was released in November 2016 after serving six years in prison in connection with a 2010 rape and robbery.
A vigil was held Sunday night for Tokes, who was planning to graduate in May with a degree in psychology.
“I’m still in shock,” Vara Pamidimukkala, a senior at Ohio State, tells the Columbus Dispatch. “She was a nice person and very friendly. She did not deserve this.”
Money is being raised for a scholarship in Tokes’ memory with a GoFundMe page. It had raised nearly $50,000 as of early Monday morning.
