A lawyer from Tennessee, who had been suspended, is accused of killing his girlfriend while he was out on bond for previously threatening her with a knife. Authorities reported that he has a “history” of assaults against her, leading to four arrests within half a year, according to records.

Jared Streich, 40, faces murder charges for allegedly strangling Miranda Gray, 46, on Monday morning in her Nashville apartment located on Hermitage Park Drive, as stated by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

Formerly practicing in Rutherford County, Streich was prohibited from practicing law by the Tennessee Supreme Court for six years in June, following two separate domestic violence incidents in February and April. The initial case ordered Streich to avoid contacting Gray, an order he allegedly disregarded.

“At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Streich called 911, reporting that Gray was not responding and requesting medical assistance,” the police mentioned in a press release. “The initial officer observed that the victim had passed away and inquired how long she had been unresponsive, but Streich refused to answer.”

An autopsy determined that Gray had “numerous injuries” and died as the result of strangulation, per the release.

“On Monday, homicide detectives highlighted that Streich breached bond conditions arising from a February aggravated assault charge, where he allegedly threatened Gray with a knife,” the release adds. “His bond terms mandated that Streich was to stay away from the Hermitage Park Drive residence.”

An arrest affidavit for the February incident, which was obtained by Law&Crime on Thursday, details how Streich held Gray “at knifepoint” that night, Feb. 10, after she accused him of stealing money from her. Cops who responded found Streich sitting on the couch “doing a thousand-yard blank stare,” the affidavit alleges.

“Officers spoke with the victim, who stated she had gotten into an argument with the defendant over him taking money from her,” the affidavit says. “The victim stated the defendant went into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and began to wave it around. The victim stated the defendant said to her, “We’re gonna do this? We’re gonna do this?’ as he was waving the knife around.”

Officers asked the victim if she “felt in fear” when Streich went after her with the knife and made his statements, to which she allegedly said yes. “The victim stated that she felt like the defendant was ‘challenging’ her,” according to the affidavit.

“While speaking with the officers, the victim revealed that the defendant recently broke her phone during an argument they had,” the document adds. “In addition, the victim stated she and the defendant got into an argument within the last few days where the defendant broke an apartment-installed keypad system. Officers used state systems to verify a completed incident report over the matter.”

Detectives arrested Streich on Monday night on the bond violation charge as the death investigation for Gray continued and an autopsy was performed. He was charged with murder after the results of the autopsy came back, according to cops.

In addition to the pending February case, Streich was arrested on April 29 and charged with aggravated assault, as well as violating bond conditions, after Gray reported that he pushed her head into a closet door and slammed a “patio door” on her arm. The charges were dropped, though, on May 1, according to police.

On July 26, Streich was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and violating bond conditions once again after Gray reported that he “cut her wrist with a knife” inside the apartment on July 20, the MNPD release says. Those charges were dropped, too, on August 1, according to police officials.

On August 3, Streich was taken into custody yet again — the fourth time in six months — for violating bond conditions after officers were called to Gray’s apartment for a domestic disturbance and found him there. Streich was indicted by a grand jury for the February assault and given an October court date, according to court records.

“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,” the MNPD release explains. “In subsequent police responses, Gray declined counseling, order of protection, prosecution or shelter services.”

Streich has allegedly refused to speak with police about Gray’s death. He was being held this week on a $75,000 bond, with an Aug. 28 court date scheduled.
