In the kitchen, Jenae's killer, Kevin Accorto, 34, was barely alive with a knife buried in his neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Florida man who killed Instagram model Janae Gagnier spent two days in her Texas apartment scrawling messages on walls before stabbing himself when her dad kicked in her apartment door.

Richmond police were called to Jenae's home at the Cortland Apartments in the 5200 block of Pointe West Circle at approximately 4:40 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29.

Her parents, Jeaneta Grover and Mark Gagnier, believe she died on Saturday August 28, when they last heard from her.

"Saturday goes by she is laying dead and we have this man in the apartment," her mother, Grover told ABC7's sister station KTRK-TV.

When Jenae didn't return his calls, Mark Gagnier and his girlfriend rushed to her home at the Cortland Apartments in the 5200 block of Pointe West Circle at approximately 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

"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 Gagnier.

Gagnier discovered Jenae's body at the foot of the stairs.

He initially thought she fell down the stairs and died. Then he entered the kitchen and found 34-year-old Kevin Accorto, still alive with a knife buried in his neck.

"He was twitching, he was gurgling... He was there for like two days, writing on the walls.

"There's blood all over the apartment. Supposedly, when I kicked in the door, he ended his life.

"For me to see that, I kind of just was in shock. I just stood there."

"What I saw, I wouldn't want any parent to go through," Gagnier told KTRK-TV.

Gagnier said he often talked to his daughter about her risky lifestyle.

"My monthly conversation is, 'Jenae you have all these followers. Some probably because they love you, some because they like your look, some more crazy, and some obsessed.'"

The lanky runway model was granted a temporary restraining order against her stalker, Malik Bowker, 24, after he allegedly threatened her life.

According to TMZ, a judge signed off on the protective order on Monday, March 29. The 25-year-old model was informed by an LAPD detective that Bowker allegedly threatened to shoot her.

Court documents obtained by TMZ state that Bowker was placed on a psychiatric hold and is due to be released. His release date caused Jenner "severe emotional distress and anxiety".

The restraining order means he must stay at least 100 yards away from her at all times.

BACKGRID

Kylie Jenner has filed for an order of protection from a man who committed burglary in her exclusive gated community in Calabasas, California. The reality TV personality says she believes the man is stalking her.

Kylie is seeking a restraining order against a man named Justin Bergquist in court on Friday. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Bergquist allegedly broke into a mansion in Kylie's neighborhood last month. He left without taking anything -- but he came back and tried to get inside the gates again.

BACKGRID

Security stopped the burglar the second time and called the cops, but he told officers he was there to see Kylie.

TMZ sources say it's unclear if Bergquist mistakenly thought the first home he allegedly broke into was Kylie's, but he was arrested anyway for burglary and trespassing.

Court records show Bergquist is due back in court next month after pleading not guilty in his criminal case.

BACKGRID

Kylie filed court docs after arriving back home with her daughter, Stormi Webster, from a family vacation in Lake Tahoe. She flew in on her $50 million private jet, ignoring the CDC's recommendations to avoid traveling during the holidays due to the COVID 19 outbreak.
