Florida dude kills Texas Instagram "star" and then stabs himself to death. That's a fucked up way to kill yourself, but glad he had conviction. Although....the the victims father did admit to finding the killer "alive". Wonder if the father helped the killer along towards death.

HOUSTON -- An Instagram influencer from Texas has been found dead in her apartment and the Florida man investigators believe killed her then stabbed himself to death, authorities said.

The body of Jenae Gagnier, 33, was found in her apartment in Richmond, Texas, on Sunday. Known online as Miss Mercedes Morr, she had amassed 2.6 million followers on Instagram.

Gagnier’s father told multiple news outlets that he rushed to his daughter's apartment on Sunday, concerned that he had been unable to reach her on the phone all weekend.

“I know my daughter and when I got to my daughter’s house and it was locked up and she’s not answering my phone call, which is not like her, I knew something was up. So I didn’t hesitate to kick the door down,” said Mark Gagnier. “What I saw, I wouldn’t want any parent to go through.”

He found his daughter dead at the bottom of the stairs.

“I walk in and Janae’s on the floor, and her clothes are all torn up and stuff,” Gagnier said.

The Medical Examiner’s office determined Gagnier died by “strangulation and traumatic concussion.”

The Richmond Police Department on Monday identified the suspect in her killing as 34-year-old Kevin Alexander Accorto, whose last known address was in Florida. The medical examiner determined he stabbed himself to death.

Mark Gagnier said he found Accorto upstairs.

“I go upstairs, guy upstairs with a knife in him, still alive,” the father said.

Richmond police have yet to determine a motive in the killing and an investigation is ongoing.

Police said Gagnier and Accorto had no personal relationship, and her parents said they believe he was crazed Instagram follower.

“Unfortunately, someone basically was stalking, and killed my baby,” said her mother, Jeanetta Grover.

Here's a pic of the Instagram "star". Going to spoiler it so that I don't accidentally inspire others to kill themselves. There are a fuckton of Vics in this world. Can't unsee that shit.

There has never been a “star” of any sort that lived in an apartment in Richmond, TX. 

Never. 

Exception that proves the rule:  I am sure a number of "rock stars" have lived in apartments in Richmond.  Rock in this case meaning crack cocaine, not music.

I live in what is now considered Richmond (wasn’t when I was a kid).  I said this exact sentence to my wife, as I was reading her the news slip.  2.6mm followers and she lives in an apt in Richmond?   Considering the door and hardy looks well painted, she’s got to be in part of the “new” Richmond.

Went to wiki to verify my memory before pointing out that BJ Thomas lived in Rosenberg, so pretty close. Only to find that he died a couple of months ago in Arlington from lung cancer. 

Oh, that's terrible news. But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red. Crying's not for me.

He had some great songs. RIP. Didn't know he was Texan.

An acquaintance of mine lived next door to Mr. Thomas.  As fate would have it, Lee Greenwood lived on the other side.  BJ had the blinds closed, and screamed at anyone who drove by to "respect my privacy".  Lee, on the other hand, would actually stand in his yard waving at people hoping someone would recognize him.
