- Ethan Westgard, 19, was found unresponsive in his St. Edward’s University residence hall and pronounced dead on June 11, 2026.
- Investigators obtained murder warrants for Alysia Rodriguez‑Mabry and Jordan Breck on Sept. 8, and a U.S. Marshals‑led fugitive task force arrested Rodriguez‑Mabry on Wednesday and Breck on Thursday.
- Austin police say Rodriguez‑Mabry, 27, and Breck, 22, are accused of supplying drugs that led to Westgard’s death but have not publicly detailed which suspect supplied specific substances or the exact evidence linking them to the case.
- The Travis County Medical Examiner listed six contributing substances, including fentanyl, mitragynine and 7‑hydroxymitragynine (kratom compounds), alprazolam, buprenorphine and gabapentin.
- Westgard’s family and campus community have organized memorials and a fundraiser, police continue to seek tips, and prosecutors are preparing a case that will turn on whether the drugs supplied caused the death under the 2023 Texas fentanyl law.
