Richmond police are investigating the death of popular Houston Instagram model Jenae Gagnier as a murder-suicide.
Gagnier, 33, had a large following on Instagram.com where she was known as “Miss Mercedes Morr.”
Police found Gagnier’s body while responding to a welfare check call at her home at Cortland Apartments on Sunday, according to ABC13.
A man’s body was also found inside the apartment. Police identified the man as 34-year-old Kevin Alexander Accorto. They say there was no known relationship between Gagnier and Accorto.
However, Gagnier’s family said Accorto was stalking her, according to Heavy.com.
Gagnier’s sister, London, wrote on Instagram: “She wasn’t robbed. It was just a stalker from outta state who’d BEEN stalking her.”
According to the Richmond County medical examiner, Gagnier was strangled to death while Accorto died from multiple self-inflicted “sharp force trauma” injuries.
Gagnier had a large following on OnlyFans, where she sold memberships for $10/month.
She also had 2.6 million followers on her @missmercedesmorr Instagram page, where she modeled Fashion Nova outfits in exchange for a fee.
“A body to die for,” wrote one IG follower in a comment on Tuesday.
