Monroe County Deputies and Brockport Police say that an Arizona woman has been charged with fatally shooting a woman from Lyndonville, Orleans County.
On Tuesday, 31 year old Holly Marie Colino was charged with second degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the death of 33 year old Megan Dix last Friday.
According to the D&C, authorities say Colino was taken into custody Monday night in Henrietta after deputies responded to an incident at Sticky Lips Pit BBQ on Jefferson Road. She allegedly pointed a gun at the head of an employee in the parking lot. Colino was taken into custody a short time later at a nearby Holiday Inn.
Monroe County deputies say that Colino managed to briefly escape from custody after being arrested Monday. They say she “slipped a handcuff” and bolted from the Henrietta substation. After a short chase, she was taken back into custody. She was found about 100 yards from where she ran away. Officials say there is now an internal investigation into the situation which is standard protocol in incidents like this.
Officials say Colino is from the Rochester area and lived in Brockport from 2011 to 2014.
Police call this a random act of violence, and say Dix was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time, when she was shot in a Brockport parking lot last week.
