About this listen

Brianna Aguilera was a 19-year-old Texas A&M student who fell 17 stories from a West Campus apartment in Austin on November 29, 2025. Austin Police ruled her death a suicide just five days later — before the autopsy was completed, before toxicology came back, and before a rape kit was even processed. But the family isn't buying it. And neither is the neighbor who heard everything through the walls that night.

Dannah Rodriguez lived directly across the hall from the apartment Brianna was visiting. At attorney Tony Buzbee's January 2026 press conference, she described hearing loud arguing, a girl's voice fighting with multiple people, and screaming — the kind of scream you make when something goes wrong. Her father thought the arguing was coming from the balcony. Minutes later, Brianna was dead.

According to the neighbor, the resident of that apartment vacated almost immediately after Brianna's death. And she claims police never entered the unit during their investigation. So what were they actually investigating?

Brianna's parents have now filed a $1 million wrongful death lawsuit against the Austin Blacks Rugby Club and the UT Latin Economics and Business Association, alleging their daughter was illegally overserved alcohol at a tailgate earlier that evening. But attorney Tony Buzbee says the lawsuit is really about one thing: subpoena power. If police won't investigate, the family will do it themselves.

The autopsy still isn't complete. The toxicology still isn't back. The witnesses in the apartment have allegedly been told not to talk. And a mother is demanding the Texas Rangers take over the case.

This is the story of Brianna Aguilera — and the questions nobody in Austin seems willing to answer.
