Detectives told her she had fallen from 17 floors, the mother recalled. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot of inconsistencies with the story,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cHe told me they said she jumped, and then he told me that the friends said they didn\u2019t know her whereabouts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The heartbroken mother said her daughter, a sophomore at the university, was not suicidal and was looking forward to her future as a lawyer. <\/p>\n
Rodriguez called police after her daughter did not answer her phone after Friday\u2019s game, noting she saw Aguilera\u2019s phone pinging in Austin. <\/p>\n
Cops then instructed her to wait 24 hours before filing a missing persons report, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n
Officers later found Aguilera\u2019s cellphone on Saturday. However, Rodriguez was not told until 4 p.m. that day that her daughter was in the morgue, the mother recalled. <\/p>\n

Rodriguez believes something more sinister could have been at play leading up to the fatal fall. <\/p>\n
She maintained that one of the 15 people inside the apartment must know something about her daughter\u2019s death. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere 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,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n
Austin police said Aguilera\u2019s death is not being investigated as a homicide, as the investigation has not revealed any suspicious details, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n
The Travis County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office will determine the aspiring lawyer\u2019s cause of death.<\/p>\n

Aguilera hailed from Laredo, where she attended United High School. She was a \u201cseasoned cheerleader\u201d and received Magna Cum Laude honors before graduating high school, according to a GoFundMe organized for her loved ones.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was pursuing her dream of becoming a lawyer and was attending The Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M,\u201d the statement continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe details surrounding what happened next remain unclear, and her mother is still awaiting answers,\u201d the fundraiser continued. <\/p>\n
The GoFundMe has since raised over $28,000, more than double its $12,000 goal. <\/p>\n
\u201cIm so grateful for your love and support at this moment. The unexpected loss of my brie brie has been a tremendous challenge, but I find strength in the outpouring of kindness,\u201d Rodriguez said in a Monday message to the hoards of supporters. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve experienced every parent\u2019s worst fear, but I\u2019m comforted by the knowledge that my brie brie touched so many hearts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
