GROVE CITY, Ohio -- The body of a missing Ohio State student was discovered in a Grove City, Ohio park Thursday, according to police.
The Franklin County Coroner’s office said Reagan Tokes, a 21-year-old senior at Ohio State, was shot to death Wednesday night after leaving work at Bodega Columbus. Her roommates filed a missing person report the following morning; the same day, a jogger would discover her body near the entrance to Scioto Grove Metro Park.
"We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends," Ohio State said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this extremely difficult time."
The Columbus Dispatch reported that it was unclear whether she had been killed at her workplace or at the park 11 miles away, but there was no shell casing found at the scene of discovery.
Tokes, who would have celebrated her 22nd birthday March 9, had been preparing to graduate with a degree in psychology.
Today my dad emailed me diploma frames and told me to pick one out and I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up
