On November 29, 2025, the Aguilera family and the Laredo community were devastated by the tragic passing of Brianna Aguilera, a 19 year old Texas A&M University freshman whose life ended suddenly in Austin.
Brianna had traveled from Laredo on November 28 to attend the UT vs. Texas A&M tailgate with friends. She was found deceased in the early hours of the following day, a heartbreaking loss that has cut short a future filled with immense promise.
Brianna was a proud 2025 graduate of United High School in Laredo, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and served as a dedicated and spirited cheerleader. Her bright energy and leadership left a lasting impression on her teachers and classmates.
She was pursuing a degree in international affairs at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M, with the goal of attending law school to advocate for underserved communities. Brianna balanced her studies with volunteer work and campus involvement, often using her bilingual skills to connect with and serve others.
Beyond her academic drive, Brianna was a loving daughter and sister who cherished time with her family. She enjoyed photography, mentoring younger students, and capturing the beauty of her Texas roots. Her kindness, empathy, and joyful presence made a deep impact on everyone she met.
Though her time was far too short, Brianna Aguilera’s legacy of determination, service, and love will continue to inspire her community. Laredo mourns the loss of a remarkable young woman and holds her family close in thought and prayer.
Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family at a later time. Rest peacefully, Brianna. You are deeply missed.
