Authorities believe a Texas Instagram influencer was killed by a bully who later stabbed himself, according to a report.
Jenae Gagnier, 33, was found dead in her apartment outside Houston Sunday by her father, CBS Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
“What I saw, I wouldn’t want any father to pass,” Father Mark Gagnier told the dam.
Gagnier said he “knew something was going on” because Jenae hadn’t been answering his calls all weekend. His apartment was locked, “so I didn’t hesitate to knock on the door.”
He found his dead daughter on the floor at the bottom of the stairs with “the clothes are broken and all.”
Gagnier said he then discovered the alleged killer Kevin Alexander Accorto dying from a wounded knife upstairs.
“I’m going upstairs, a guy upstairs with a knife inside, still alive,” the father said at the station.
Accorto, 34, was a mad follower of Jenae, who went for Miss Mercedes Morr on her popular Instagram account, her parents reported on the station.
“Unfortunately, someone was basically chasing and killing my baby,” said mother Jeanetta Grover.
The Instagram model, who had about 3 million followers, died of “strangulation and traumatic concussion,” the coroner found, according to the report.
Police said Accorto, who was from Florida, had no personal relationship with the victim. The investigation continues.
