A convicted sex offender released from the prison in November was charged on Saturday with the rape and shooting death of a 21-year-old Ohio State University student.

Grove City police said in a news release that, Brian Golsby, aged 29, was arrested early charged with the aggravated murder, rape, kidnapping and aggravated robbery in the slaying of Reagan Tokes.

Tokes nude body was found on Thursday near a park entrance in the Grove City after she was last seen leaving work at a Columbus restaurant on Wednesday night. She was then reported missing by her off-campus roommates and also by her co-workers when she never made it home.

Tokes grew up outside the Toledo, and was a fourth-year psychology major at the Ohio State due to graduate in May. She was shot twice in the head, Grove City Police Sgt. Chris White said at a news conference on Saturday.

Golsby was arrested at 4 a.m. on Saturday after being identified as a suspect through DNA evidence gathered in and around the Tokes' car, which was found not far from where Golsby was living in the Columbus, White said. Police believe Tokes encountered Golsby not long after she left the restaurant shortly before 10 p.m. on Wednesday.

The charges against Golsby also were based on the statements he gave to police, White said.

White said there was no evidence of a connection between Tokes and Golsby and that is the first interaction between them believed to have happened shortly after Tokes left the work at that night of her murder.

Golsby is set to be arraigned at 9 a.m. on Monday. Tokes uncle, Jeff McCrary, issued a statement on behalf of her family to the WSYX-WTTE-TV.

A GoFundMe account has been started to create a scholarship in Reagan's memory and also to add a commemorative plaque at the tennis courts at her alma mater, Anthony Wayne High School.
