Well Juggalos, it’s never easy for us to post about a death in the family, especially when it’s something tragic such as this. Some of you may have already seen the posts elsewhere, but it’s with great sorrow that I must inform you that Alisha Virtue aka “Alley Ann” has passed away. According to reports, her death was a homicide, committed by her recent ex-boyfriend Nicholas Starr, who then turned the gun on himself.
Here is an excerpt from the New Pittsburgh Courier Online:
PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Allegheny County medical examiner has released the name of a Pittsburgh man who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot hours after his ex-girlfriend was found fatally shot in her own shower.
The man police believe shot himself and 25-year-old Alisha Virtue has been identified as 24-year-old Nicholas Starr.
County detectives say Virtue’s body was found about 5 p.m. Tuesday when her mother, sister and 2-year-old son returned home. They heard the shower running and assumed she was getting ready for work, only to find her dead. The relatives then found Starr on the bathroom floor.
Starr had a gunshot wound to the head and died early Wednesday at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Police say Virtue and her ex were both at the home when Virtue’s relatives left about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Friends and family of Alley have started a memorial page on Facebook for people to send their condolences and share memories of her, as well as make a donation to the memorial fund. Here’s what they posted:
She brightened every situation and lit up any room she was in and was always full of smiles. Alisha was shot and killed in a domestic dispute just outside of Pittsburgh on Tuesday. She leaves behind a 2-year-old son. There is a Memorial/Donation Fund set up through PNC Bank under “Alisha Virtue Memorial Fund”. Also here is a memorial page her friends made for her
The link to that memorial page is: http://www.facebook.com/AlleyAnnMemorial
I would also like to point out that, although this is a murder case, this is also a suicide case as well. Please pray for Nicholas and his family too during these hard times. Everyone here at FLH sends their deepest condolences to both families, especially Alley’s 2 year old son. May both victims of this terrible tragedy rest in peace.
Below are a couple links to the related news stories, as well as some photos of Alley from her Memorial page:
