'Adam and Steve' consultant dies in murder-suicide
A Republican political consultant who had a hand in an infamous "Adam and Steve" flier that agitated a local legislative race has died in an apparent double murder-suicide in Orlando, Fla.
Ralph Gonzalez, 36, president of the Strategum Group, was found dead at his Orlando home last Thursday, Aug. 23 along with his roommate, David Abrami, 36, and a friend, Robert Drake, 30. The shooting happened two days before on Aug. 21.
Police say Gonzalez and Abrami were killed by Drake, a former U.S. Marine, who then turned the gun on himself. Police said they did not know what the motive might have been.
Gonzalez, an attorney, worked in several Alabama campaigns, including Attorney General Troy King's winning race and State Sen. Scott Beason's successful GOP race.

(Orlando, Florida) A former campaign aide to a Florida congressman and two other men were found dead in a home in an apparent double-murder and suicide, authorities and relatives said.

Investigators found weapons and signs of a struggle in the house, but they did not say what the weapons were or which man they believe was the killer. The men are believed to have died several days before the bodies were discovered Thursday.
Gonzalez was executive director of the Georgia Republican Party from 2001-2002. He managed U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney's 2002 campaign and was president of Strategum Group, an Orlando-based political consulting firm that represents Republican candidates.

Abrami, an attorney, was active in Republican politics as well.
