The emergency call came shortly after 8 p.m. from their residence in the 2800 block of Lubbock Avenue a few blocks from campus.

The roommate said the unidentified woman was not breathing and was found bound with duct tape.

In a statement issued late Monday night, Fort Worth police said “preliminary findings suggest this is not a criminal assault nor a homicide,” but that a final determination would be made by the medical examiner’s office.

Neighbors told News 8 that break-ins had been a problem in the neighborhood.
