Brianna Aguilera: Texas A&M student's family taps ex-Diddy victims' lawyer; alleges foul play
Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera, 19, died on Nov 29; her family suspects foul play and hired attorney Tony Buzbee. Police say no criminal circumstances,
The death of a 19-year-old student from Texas A&M University, Brianna Aguilera, on the night of November 29 has taken a fresh turn, with the family alleging the possibility of foul play in Aguilera's death.
While the Austin Police Department is investigating the incident as a death with no criminal circumstances, Brianna Aguilera's family isn't convinced with it. They believe Brianna Aguilera died in suspiciously, and to get to the bottom of it, they have hired prominent Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who formerly represented many of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' victims.
On Monday, Tony Buzbee's law firm, Buzbee Law Firm and Gamez Law Firm, said in a statement that they have been retained by the parents of Brianna Aguilera, who were identified as Manuel Aguilera and Stephanie Rodriguez. In the update, the firm said that the death was "unimaginable and very suspicious."
"Brianna’s parents firmly believe there is much more information that needs to be discovered," the statement read. "They feel certain this was not an accident. This was certainly not a suicide."
A press conference will be held on Friday, December 5, at 1 p.m. in Houston where the firm is expected to present their disputes to the initial police findings.
