The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Brockport Police say a former Brockport resident who recently came back to the area from Arizona has been charged with the murder of Megan Dix of Holley.
Brockport Police Chief Daniel Varrenti says 31-year-old Holly Colino has been charged with shooting Dix as the Holley woman sat in her pickup truck, eating lunch in a parking lot. Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn says Colino was arrested in Henrietta Monday night after a bizarre exchange with an employee outside Sticky Lips Barbecue, caught by security cameras.
Restaurant owner Howard Nielsen says security tape shows Colino shouting at the employee who had just gotten into her car and displaying a gun before walking away, still shouting.
Sheriff O’Flynn says Colino was arrested at the nearby Holiday Inn after a struggle during which she broke away and had to be run down by arresting officers.
Colino pleaded not guilty in Brockport Village Court.
Deputies say there was no apparent robbery attempt in the Henrietta incident…and Chief Varrenti says Colino allegedly shot and killed Dix within seconds of encountering her in the South Avenue parking lot. He says there was no reason to it, and that Dix did nothing at all to put herself in harm’s way.
Colino lived in Brockport from 2011 to 2014, returning to the area for an unknown reason just three days before Dix was murdered. She brought with her two handguns, apparently bought legally in Arizona but illegal to own in New York.
