DELAWARE, Ohio (WCMH) – A Powell man accused of killing a man, then kidnapping and raping his girlfriend was convicted by a jury Wednesday.

Brandon Toleque, 32, was convicted of two counts of murder with firearm specifications, one first-degree felony county of kidnapping, and one count of first-degree felony rape. Watch a previous report on this case in the video player above.

Toleque was convicted of killing Arazeia Richardson on Nov. 15, 2023, who was a guest in Toleque’s home at Thornbury Lane and Ascot Court in Powell. After that, Toleque forced another guest, a woman, to leave the area with him.

According to court records, surveillance video obtained from a Ring camera showed Toleque, the female passenger, Richardson and two other individuals entering the home on Nov. 12. The two individuals, a couple according to the report, left later in the evening, followed by Toleque and the woman at 1:09 a.m. The video did not show Richardson leaving the home.

Toleque was arrested two days later in Marshall County, Indiana; when taken into custody, a woman in the car Toleque was driving told officers that Toleque “killed my boyfriend” and that he needed to “trust” her before raping her twice, court records state.

Toleque was convicted after a five-day trial. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Monday.
