COLUMBUS, Ohio — The man accused of raping and killing an Ohio State student was being monitored with a GPS at the time of the crime, reports say.
Brian Golsby, 29, of Grove City, was released from prison in November 2016 after serving six years in connection with a 2010 attempted rape and robbery. Golsby had no permanent residence upon his release, so he was being monitored with a GPS, 10tv.com reports.
“I can confirm that he was on GPS monitoring, which is not uncommon due to the fact that he did not have a permanent residence upon his release,” JoEllen Smith, a spokeswoman for Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, tells the Columbus Dispatch.
Smith said she could not go into the details on the rules Golsby had to follow and what restrictions were placed on him, the Dispatch reports.
Golsby was given a temporary living space in a state contracted residential housing program, according to the Dispatch.
Golsby is accused of killing Reagan Tokes, 21, of Maumee, Ohio, a suburb of Toledo. Tokes was a psychology student at Ohio State and was expected to graduate in May.
According to 10tv.com, Golsby told police he confronted Tokes after she left work at about 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 8. He forced her to withdraw $60 from an ATM, then had her drive them in her car to Scioto Grove Metro Park in Grove City.
Golsby then raped Tokes before shooting her twice in the head, killing her, according to reports. Tokes’ body was found the next day in the park.
The Dispatch reports investigators found a cigarette butt in the car and used DNA to match it to Golsby.
On Tuesday, calling hours were held for Tokes in Maumee, 13abc.com reports. Her funeral is at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
“We’re all in shock. We’re all mad. We all don’t understand why this would happen,” Pastor Joanie Schilling of Maumee United Methodist Church tells 13abc.com.
“Reagan is really full of life. [She] brought a light and smile to the room. … We are celebrating all the highlights and the beautiful things about Reagan.”
