TOLEDO, Ohio -- One of Grady Sizemore's biggest fans, who routinely made the trip from Toledo to Jacobs Field, was found shot to death over the weekend. She was apparently a victim of a murder-suicide, officials said.

 

NewsChannel5 reported Michelle Mielecki, 21, was the co-founder of the fan club, called Grady's Ladies Sisterhood.

 

Police said the national attention of the fan club could be the reason Mielecki's boyfriend shot and killed her Saturday before taking his own life.

 

"You know we were just doing interviews and at the game and everything, had our pictures taken and now it's just kind of come to a stop, what do you do now?" said Amanda Bonnell. "It's hard."

 

Other fan club members said Mielecki's boyfriend was the jealous type and they are rethinking continuing the club.

 

Mielecki was studying marketing at the University of Toledo and hoped to work for the Indians.

 

Mielecki was heard screaming and yelling her boyfriend's name before she was shot and killed inside his apartment complex Saturday.

 

Authorities said the man then committed suicide.

 

Michelle Mielecki and Andrew Brown, were 2003 graduates of Wapakoneta High School and had dated for about three years.

 

Mielecki's body was found early Saturday in a hallway at the top of the stairs. She was shot seven times.

 

Police said Brown's body was found inside his two-bedroom apartment along with a handgun. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Wow, how incredibly sad.

 

RIP

 

That's about the saddest thing I've seen in a long time. Sounded quite devoted to sports to start that club and then go to school to try and get into working for the Indians as well. Such a sad story, RIP. And I wonder how Grady Sizemore feels, this story is as bizarre as it is sad.

wow, thats incredibly sad.

 

RIP Michelle Mielecki

Other fan club members said Mielecki's boyfriend was the jealous type and they are rethinking continuing the club.

 

WTF is wrong with people these days? Jesus Christ, my wife's had a crush on Mel Gibson ever since I've known her and I have no problem with the Braveheart DVD on our livingroom shelf. :headshake

 

RIP

I'm going to send a card.

 

That poor woman.
