Social Media Star Miss Mercedes Morr Was Found Dead In A Suspected Murder-Suicide

A popular Instagram model and social media influencer has been found dead in her apartment in what police believe to be a murder-suicide.

Janae Gagnier – known as Miss Mercedes Morr to her 2.6million Instagram followers – was found dead in the Cortland Sugar Land apartments in Richmond, Texas, by police who were asked to carry out a wellness check.

The Fort Bend County Medical Examiner found she had been strangled to death, according to KHOU 11.

Police also found the body of 34-year-old Kevin Alexander Accorto, of Florida. The medical examiner said he had killed himself with ‘multiple sharp force trauma’.

‘It is not believed that there was a relationship between the suspect and the victim’, Richmond police said in a statement.

Authorities said there was no sign of forced entry at the apartment, and they are treating the deaths as a murder-suicide. 

Sister London Gagnier claimed that Janae was being stalked before her death.

London posted on Instagram, ‘She wasn’t robbed. It was just a stalker from outta state who’d BEEN stalking her.’ 

Police have not commented on a possible motive, and said investigations are continuing. +5

London also revealed that her and her mom checked on Janae, who is also survived by her brother, last Thursday. She said that she was having ‘an amazing time.’ 

Gagnier’s friend, who goes by HTownCiara on Instagram, said that ‘Mercedes did not have a sugar daddy or a pimp. Never did. She was not robbed. She did not have HIV. She didn’t have COVID, she wasn’t in an accident. Yes she was murdered.’

Gagnier’s neighbors responded on Monday to KPRC-TV about the murder.

‘What I thought was safe it seems is not. We have so many rules and so many guidelines I would never expect someone to breach our security and someone be murdered on this property,’ said Roderick Shaw.

‘It’s safe over here, we have the gates the fence, you got to have a code to get in a code to get out, I’m just in shock,’ said Edna Swist.
