The U.S. Marshals say the husband of a slain social media star killed himself in a Florida home when authorities showed up to arrest him in connection with his wife's death last year in Texas.

HOUSTON – Texas social media influencer Alexis Sharkey’s death has been ruled a homicide after the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences determined that her cause of death was strangulation, KPRC reported. Sharkey’s naked body was found on the morning of Nov. 28, 2020, in the 1000 block of Red Haw Street by a Houston Public Works employee. Sharkey, 26, moved to Houston in January of last year with her husband Tom Sharkey and became a social media influencer full time with around 25,000 Instagram followers. “The way in which she was found - my child would never do that to herself,” Robinault told KPRC. That is absolutely foul play.”Anyone with information about Sharkey’s death is asked to call the Houston Police Department homicide division at 713-308-3600 or call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
