GUILTY OH - Reagan Tokes, 21, OSU student, fatally shot, Columbus, 8 Feb 2017

How was he able to commit this and apparently several other attacks if he was monitored?

Here is a good article explaining this.

"The monitors are mainly used to ensure that parolees report to their parole officers and don't leave the area. They also can be used after the fact to see if parolees were near areas where crimes occurred. Those on GPS monitors aren't watched in real time. Authorities use software that allows them to punch in the parameters of where the parolee is allowed to go or not go. But even if the parolee violates those conditions, authorities often aren't notified immediately."

Sounds like an epic fail, especially in this case.

COTA releases video of Brian Golsby taken hours before attacks

New details were released on Wednesday with evidence that prosecutors will present to a jury in the murder case of Ohio State University student Reagan Tokes.

(...)


This is the first time the public is seeing video of Golsby on multiple COTA buses. The images of Golsby were taken by the security cameras on the COTA buses. One video shows Golsby entering and exiting a COTA bus on February 6, 2017 and the other surveillance video was captured on February 8, 2017 shortly after 7 pm. Tokes was kidnapped the night of Feb. 8 and then murdered.

Golsby’s attorneys seek delay of trial due to proposal to ban death penalty


Tuesday’s motion is one of several filed by Golsby’s defense.

His attorneys are also asking the judge to remove the death penalty specifications from the charges he faces, and they are seeking to have evidence collected from their client’s GPS monitor excluded as evidence.

Golsby’s trial is scheduled to begin in February.
