Arazeia Richardson, 33 and from Columbus, Ohio, was found dead on November 13, 2023, inside a residence in Powell, Ohio. Authorities initially kept details confidential. Two days later, on November 15, Powell police announced the arrest of 31-year-old Brandon Toleque of Powell on a murder charge; officers apprehended him in northwest Indiana. The incident reportedly occurred at Toleque’s grandmother’s house in Powell, though the exact circumstances of Richardson’s death were not disclosed.

At the time of Toleque’s arrest, a woman was found in his car and reportedly told deputies that Toleque had killed her boyfriend. Richardson’s family expressed skepticism about parts of that account and said they were seeking closure. As of November 16, 2023, Toleque remained in custody in Marshall County, Indiana, with a warrant for Richardson’s murder and the investigation was ongoing.
