She was pronounced dead around 1 a.m. on Saturday, about 10 minutes after officers responded to a call at the 21 Rio Apartments, the police said.<\/p>\n
Police revealed that her death was not being investigated as a homicide and added that there was no evidence of criminal activity. \u201cThere is no evidence to suggest or support any suspicious or criminal circumstances surrounding Ms. Aguilera\u2019s passing,\u201d the Austin Police Department Public Information Office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Investigation Continuing, Cause of Death Has Not Been Revealed<\/p>\n
Although police denied any foul play, the investigation into Aguilera\u2019s death remains open. Her official cause of death will be determined by the Travis County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office. Aguilera\u2019s relatives are still waiting to hear from the authorities, according to family members.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I could tell you what conversations were had in those apartments,\u201d said Aguilera\u2019s cousin, Amabeli Fernandez. \u201cBut no one has come forward and told her family, her mom, her father, exactly what happened.\u201d Fernandez also said that she cannot explain what caused Aguilera\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Brianna\u2019s Family Launched A GoFundMe, Community Responds<\/p>\n
Aguilera\u2019s family has organized a GoFundMe<\/a> campaign that has raised over $38,000, surpassing their original $12,000 goal. Fernandez also organized that campaign for the family during this difficult time. Aguilera\u2019s mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, thanked those who sent donations and shared her heartbreak in public. \u201cI\u2019ve experienced every parent\u2019s worst fear, but I\u2019m comforted by the knowledge that my Brie Brie touched so many hearts,\u201d Rodriguez wrote.<\/p>\n Brianna Aguilera Had Big Dreams and a Close Family<\/p>\n Aguilera was majoring in political science and government and going to law school. She had always been resolute about attending Texas A&M and was an enrolled student at the Bush School of Government and Public Service, her family said. She was expected to graduate in December 2026 and was looking forward to receiving her Aggie ring, which Texas A&M students take as an important milestone.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was the type of person you see and know they have it all together,\u201d Fernandez said. Her little brothers were in awe of her accomplishments. She loved them. That\u2019s just the kind of person that she was.\u201d<\/p>\n Awaiting Answers<\/p>\n As investigators are investigating the circumstances of Aguilera\u2019s death, her family lives in a state of agonizing uncertainty. \u201cThere are still no answers,\u201d Fernandez said.
