A recent contestant on "America's Next Top Model" was murdered on Tuesday as part of a triple homicide, according to WSOC TV.

Mirjana Puhar, 19, a contestant on the reality show, was found dead inside a home in Charlotte, N.C. alongside Jonathan Alvarado, 23, and Jusmar Gonzaga-Garcia, 21.

Puhar's boyfriend, Emmanuel Rangel, 19, has been charged with the murder of the three victims, according to TMZ. Rangel has also been charged with another murder that took place over the weekend.

Police say that Rangel targeted the victims and that the killings were drug related. "I can tell you that this is not a random act of violence," Lt. Alex Watson told WSOC.

Puhar was a contestant on the 21st cycle of "America's Next Top Model" in 2014, according to Deadline.
