Alex Hetrick, a 28-year-old male from Cleveland, Ohio, tragically passed away on January 14, 2018. His death was ruled a homicide by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office. Hetrick was found dead in a car in the garage of a home on Alden Drive near West 32nd Street, alongside Renee Mur, his 27-year-old girlfriend. Police determined that Mur shot Hetrick before turning the gun on herself, an act described as a "suicide pact".
The investigation revealed that Hetrick's brother
discovered their bodies, and a note found inside the home indicated the couple's intention to die together. Police seized their cellphones and other records to piece together the events leading up to their deaths. Despite the tragic nature of the incident, family members declined to speak about what drove them to make such a pact.
No arrests or suspects were identified in connection with Hetrick's death, as it was determined to be part of a suicide pact. The case did not lead to any litigations or further law cases, as the deaths were ruled as a result of the pact rather than a criminal act.
The loss of Alex Hetrick was deeply felt by his family and friends, who remembered him as a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. His obituary described him as a cherished individual who left a lasting impact on those who knew him.
