UCLA Kidnapping, Rape Suspect Dies by Suicide Day Before Court Hearing
Alexander Schecter, the 26-year-old Santa Monica man accused of kidnapping a UCLA student and raping another woman, was found dead on Oct. 5, a day before his scheduled court appearance. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death as suicide.
First responders found Schecter unresponsive in the 800 block of San Vicente Boulevard around 6 p.m. Monday after a family member reported he was not breathing. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Schecter had been due in Airport Courthouse on Oct. 6 for a preliminary hearing on severe felony counts including kidnapping to commit another crime, first-degree residential robbery, forcible rape and two counts of forcible oral copulation. Prosecutors alleged extreme violence.
According to the LA County District Attorney's Office, on March 6, 2026, around 3 a.m., Schecter prevented a female UCLA student from exiting his car on the 500 block of Landfair Avenue. (Via U.S. media including the New York Post)
