A 19-year-old former contestant on America's Next Top Model was one of three people killed in a drug-related killing in Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday.

Mirjana Puhar who grew up in Charlotte after her family fled war-torn Serbia, was found shot to death with two other victims, Jusmar Isiah Gonzaga-Garcia, 21, and Jonathan Cosme Alvarado, 23, in a house in the city's Tryon Hills neighborhood Tuesday evening.

The alleged killer, Emmanuel Jesus Rangel, 23, was arrested Wednesday on three counts of first-degree murder.

Police said he knew the victims and that the killings were drug related.

Rangel has also been charged in connection with a murder that took place in nearby Matthews, North Carolina on Sunday, police said.



Puhar was a contestant last year in the 21st season of America's Next Top Model, where she was eliminated in the 10th episode.

In an interview with the Charlotte Observer, she recalled her journey from child refugee to high school dropout to McDonald's worker to the edge of pop culture fame.

She spoke of her troubled teenaged years, in which he regularly skipped school and got into fights.

She ended up getting her GED right before she was cast on the show.

Sad, she was a pretty girl. If you run with trash you end up like trash. She made bad choices apparently.

When they find out she was involved in the drug trade, this story will die quietly.

I think it pretty much already has.

I really have a hard time feeling sorry for people who piss their lives away like this, I really do.

The opposite actually, $#@! them.

This is still the land of opportunity, she had a chance to make something of her life, she pissed it away. One less festering sore on the ass of society.

How many kids in Africa or Asia would want an opportunity like this?

Rule of thumb; never associate with druggies, it almost always has a bad outcome; either way, it's now a dead issue.

The old saying, you can take the woman out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the woman, seems to have rung true in this case. Sad.

I really do get pissed off when I see this.

It's like when people throw perfectly good food away and on the other side of the planet people are starving.

I just want to take these people and throw them into the opposite environment, maybe than they'll appreciate what they have at their disposal.

Yeah, $#@! them. Let them go kill themselves. This society is rotting to hell anyway.

Harsh rhetoric going down here ... I mean, how do you know she just didn't pop-in to get high ... and ended-up in the wrong place at the wrong time ?
