COLUMBUS — A registered sex offender could face the death penalty in the slaying last year of OSU student Reagan Tokes.
A Franklin County jury found Brian Golsby guilty Tuesday of kidnapping, raping and killing the 21-year-old a little over one year ago.
Golsby, 30, pleaded not guilty. Messages seeking comment were left for his attorney.
Prosecutors allege the Columbus man kidnapped Tokes after she left work and then raped and killed her.
Tokes’ body was found in February 2017 at a park in Grove City.
Investigators said they found Golsby’s DNA in Tokes’ her car. Golsby’s attorney said the DNA was matched to an “unreliable” DNA profile.
