Brianna Aguilera was a high school cheerleader from Laredo, Texas, who was studying to become a lawyer at Texas A&M.
On Friday, November 28, 2025, she attended a football tailgate with friends in Austin, and her body was discovered on a sidewalk a short time later.
Now her mother wants answers.
"Brianna graduated from United High School in Laredo, TX, where she was a seasoned cheerleader and received honors of Magna Cum Laude," a GoFundMe page says.
"She was pursuing her dream of becoming a lawyer and was attending The Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M, her dream was to always be an AGGIE! She was a year shy of attaining her Aggie ring," it adds.
On Friday, November 28, "Brianna attended the UT vs. Texas A&M tailgate with friends at Austin. The details surrounding what happened next remain unclear, and her mother is still awaiting answers," added the page.
"Our hearts are shattered. In an effort to ease the financial burden on Brianna’s mother and loved ones during this unimaginable time, we are asking family, friends, and all who knew or knew of Bri to consider offering a donation. If you are unable to give, we humbly ask that you keep Brianna and her family in your thoughts and prayers," the page adds.
According to Fox 4 News, police said they got a call about a "young woman's body on the sidewalk near an apartment building on Rio Grande Street."
Police told the television station that the death doesn't appear to be suspicious, so it's not being investigated as a homicide.
What was the cause of death? According to KSAT, "Investigators have told (Aguilera's mother Stephanie) Rodriguez that they believe Aguilera died by suicide."
But the mother has questions. "Rodriguez said that her daughter was not suicidal, as she was only 19 years old and looking forward to becoming a lawyer after graduation," the television station reported.
Rodriguez wrote on Facebook: "This was not accidental someone killed my brie...My daughter would not jump 17 stories from a building and to be labeling this as a suicide is insane. My daughter loved life and was excited to graduate and pursue her career in Law."
