CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mirjana Puhar, a recent ‘America’s Next Top Model’ contestant, was killed Tuesday in a triple homicide at a home in north Charlotte.
CMPD confirmed Puhar is one of the 3 victims found dead in a home on Norris Avenue. The other victims are Jonathan Alvarado and Jusmar Gonzaga-Garcia.
Police arrested Emmanuel Rangel and charged him with three counts of murder. Police say the victims and the suspect knew each other and the incident was drug related.
Rangel is also the suspect in a homicide that happened in Matthews over the weekend. Police say Rangel and Edward Sanchez were both charged with murder after they killed Rosool Harrell at the Microtel on Matthews-Mint Hill Road. Emily Isaacs was also arrested in the case and charged with accessory after the fact.
TMZ reports a friend went into the house in north Charlotte after hearing gunshots and saw 2 bodies, Mirjana and her boyfriend, and then called police to report the killings. The friend didn’t see the 3rd victim.
19-year-old Mirjana was on the 21st cycle of ‘ANTM’ which aired last year. She was eliminated from the show in the 10th episode.
