Based on the results of an autopsy today, Homicide Unit detectives are charging Jared Streich, 40, with the murder of his girlfriend, Miranda Gray, 46, inside her apartment on Hermitage Park Drive. The two had a history of domestic violence and Streich had been arrested by MNPD officers multiple times.
At 9:30 a.m. Monday, Streich called 911 saying that Gray was unresponsive and to send an ambulance. The first responding officer saw that the victim was deceased and asked Streich how long she had been unresponsive. He declined to answer. Today’s autopsy showed that Gray had numerous injuries and died as the result of strangulation.
Homicide detectives Monday noted that Streich was in violation of bond conditions resulting from a February aggravated assault arrest in which he was alleged to have threatened Gray with a knife. As a condition of posting bond, Streich was supposed to stay away from the Hermitage Park Drive apartment. Detectives arrested him Monday night on the violation charge as the death investigation continued. A judicial commissioner on Monday night set Streich’s bond at $75,000 on that charge.
Hermitage Precinct officers had arrested Streich multiple times this year on domestic violence-related charges. In addition to the pending February case (which was indicted by the grand jury as domestic assault with an October court date), he was arrested April 29 on charges of aggravated assault and violating bond conditions after Gray reported that he pushed her head into a closet door and shut a patio door on her arm. Records reflect those charges were dropped in General Sessions Court on May 1. On July 26, Streich was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and violating bond conditions after Gray reported that he cut her wrist with a knife inside the apartment on July 20. His bond on those charges was set at $85,000. Records reflect the charges were dropped in General Sessions Court on August 1. On August 3, Streich was arrested for violating bond conditions after officers responded to a domestic disturbance at the apartment and found him there. His bond on that arrest was set at $2,500.
In the February case, Gray relayed to a Domestic Violence detective that she was talking with the District Attorney’s Office about prosecution and planned to follow up at the Family Safety Center for an Order of Protection and counseling. In subsequent police responses, Gray declined counseling, order of protection, prosecution or shelter services.
