UT police investigating death of woman found on campus as homicide
University of Texas President Gregory L. Fenves called Tuesday “a tragic day” after campus police found the body of a young woman at Waller Creek. Authorities said they are investigating the death as a homicide.
“My heart and our hearts go with the victim and the family,” Fenves told reporters Tuesday afternoon at the university’s Police Department headquarters. “This is a tragic day for every student who walks through our beautiful campus and expects to be safe.”
Officials withheld the name of the woman, who Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services officials said was in her 20s, pending notification of her next of kin. Neither university officials nor Austin police would say whether the woman was a student enrolled at the university.
At 10:46 a.m., UT police responded to reports of a body in the creek west of the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center, near the intersection of 21st Street and San Jacinto Boulevard.
