Death Of Warren Native Ruled Homicide

The cause of death of the Youngsville High School graduate and social media influencer who was found dead outside of Houston in November has been released.

Alexis Robinault Sharkey was strangled, according to the Harris County (Texas) Institute of Forensic Sciences.

“The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences has determined the cause of death for Alexis Sharkey, was strangulation,” according to a Tuesday press release. “The manner is homicide. The autopsy report will be available after law enforcement concludes its case.”

Sharkey, a 2012 YHS graduate, was 26.

The day before Thanksgiving, she spoke with her mother, Stacy Clark Robinault, about coming home to Warren County for a Christmas visit.

Three days later, she was found dead along a road just outside of Houston, not far from her home.

Her body had been found before her family here even knew she was missing.

Stacy Robinault was informed her daughter had been declared missing on the evening of Saturday, Nov. 28.

Sharkey’s body had been found, but her identity not released, that morning.

No arrests have been made nor have charges been filed, according to multiple media reports.
