Stephanie Rodriguez hasn’t slept since Saturday. She hasn’t taken off the sequin cowboy hat her daughter wore to the Texas A&M–Texas game. And she sure as hell isn’t letting Austin Police bury Brianna’s story under the word “suicide.”

On Monday night, while most of Aggieland was still reeling from the news that their beloved 19-year-old cheerleader and Bush School sophomore had fallen 17 stories from the 21 Rio Apartments, Stephanie went live on Facebook from her kitchen table and shredded APD’s early statement that there were “no signs of foul play.”

“To label this suicide is insane,” she said, voice cracking but fierce, holding up printed screenshots that have now been shared 87,000 times. “My daughter loved life. She was counting down the days to Christmas tamales with her little brothers. She had mock-trial regionals next week. She did NOT climb a railing drunk and give up.”

Then she dropped the receipts.

At 12:38 a.m. – nine minutes before Brianna went over the balcony – she sent this group text to her three closest sorority sisters who were supposedly “right there with her”:

guys Jake just showed me a video from earlier he filmed me passed out in his room he said if I don’t come back inside and “fix it” he’ll send it to the whole pre-law group I’m on the balcony trying to get him to delete it tell someone I’m scared

The three dots appear. No one replies. At 12:47 a.m. Brianna’s location services stop at the edge of the 17th-floor railing.

At 12:53 a.m. one of the girls finally texts back: bee where are you??

Too late.

Stephanie held up her phone so the camera could see the read receipts. All three girls opened the scared text at 12:40 a.m. and stayed silent for thirteen crucial minutes.

“Plenty of time to get the story straight,” Stephanie said, echoing what every comment on the live now screams. “Plenty of time to scrub evidence, delete footage, decide who says what to police. My daughter asked for help and they watched her type it. Then they let her fall.”

She saved the knockout punch for last.

APD’s public information officer told reporters Monday afternoon that Brianna was “alone on the balcony when she went over” and that the three friends were “inside the apartment, unaware.”

But Stephanie showed Ring footage from the hallway timestamped 12:45:14 a.m.: one of the girls, sophomore Taylor M., clearly steps onto the balcony holding a phone flashlight, looks straight down at something (or someone), then darts back inside and shuts the sliding door.

Twenty-eight seconds later Brianna falls.

“Alone?” Stephanie asked the camera, tears rolling. “Then who was holding the light while my baby begged?”

The autopsy is still pending, but Stephanie says the medical examiner already told the family privately there were “finger-shaped bruises on both upper arms consistent with being gripped hard” and a small laceration on Brianna’s scalp that “did not match impact with concrete.”

Austin PD has gone radio-silent since the live stream. Their tip line is crashing from volume. The 21 Rio’s management just disabled all public comments on their Instagram after it filled with sequin-cowboy-hat emojis and the words “Justice for Brianna.”

Tonight, Kyle Field is dark, but the corps of cadets lit the stadium anyway. Tomorrow, Stephanie and half of Laredo are driving the 200 miles to Austin to stand outside APD headquarters until someone answers for those thirteen minutes of silence.

She ended the live with eight words that are now on T-shirts being printed in College Station overnight:

“My daughter did not jump. Someone pushed her. And three people watched.”

The autopsy might take weeks. But a mother’s evidence is already in.

And Aggieland is done waiting.
