A college student named Andrea Rodriguez Avila was found shot to death in her dorm room in Houston, with her boyfriend, the suspect in the shooting, also found dead nearby. The couple was believed to be in a troubled relationship. The suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and investigators suspect he gained entry to the residence by accompanying Avila, who had access. Rice University confirmed the identities of the individuals involved. Counseling services were made available to students in the wake of the tragedy, with the university reassuring the community that the campus is safe. The Jones College, where the incident occurred, has a history as a residence for women before becoming a coeducational institution. If you or someone you know is in crisis or facing domestic violence, resources such as the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and the National Domestic Violence hotline are available for support.
