Texas A&M Student Found Dead After Tailgate Party – Mother Cries Foul Play in Heartbreaking Plea
Texas A&M: Brianna Aguilera’s mother rejects the police’s account after her daughter died following a tailgate party.
Aguilera had traveled to Austin for Friday’s showdown between the Aggies and the Texas Longhorns, a game the Aggies lost for the first time this season.
Early Saturday, someone found a young woman dead outside an apartment building, and Stephanie Rodriguez later identified her as her daughter.
Rodriguez says her daughter fought another woman and disputes the police’s account, noting they still haven’t identified her or confirmed the cause.
Aguilera, who hailed from Laredo, was an aspiring lawyer. Her passing follows the tragic shooting death of a female college basketball player who was only 19.

Austin police confirmed having received reports of an unresponsive woman at an address just west of the University of Texas campus on Saturday.
Authorities pronounced her dead at the scene but aren’t treating the case as a homicide. According to her mother, police told her Brianna jumped from the 17th floor of the apartment building, and she isn’t buying it.

“There are a lot of inconsistencies with the story,” she told KSAT.com. “He told me they said she jumped, and then he told me that the friends said they didn’t know her whereabouts.”
Rodriguez told the outlet her daughter was not suicidal and had plans to pursue law. She said about 15 people were in the apartment when her daughter died, and at least one of them should know what happened.
“There was a fight that happened between my daughter and another girl, and they were all staying in the same apartment that I have actual text messages of, and the detective just disregarded them,” she added.
An Austin police spokesperson said the case remains an open death investigation, not a homicide, and the medical examiner will determine the cause.
