Remember ... Brianna Aguilera -- a 19-year-old student at the university -- was found outside a campus apartment complex around 1 AM Saturday, hours after A&M's 27-17 Friday night loss against rival Texas.

Detective Robert Marshall of APD says she was found with trauma from an apparent fall from a high floor. Cameras showed Brianna arriving at the apartment building around 11 PM Friday before heading up to a 17th-floor apartment.

A large group left the building around 12:30 AM Saturday morning, cops say ... leaving Brianna and three other women in the apartment together. Brianna had lost her phone earlier in the evening and borrowed a friend's to call her boyfriend. Austin Police officers say the call took place from 12:43 AM to 12:44 AM -- and, two minutes later, they say she leaped from the building.

Officers later recovered Aguilera's lost phone ... and, they discovered a suicide note written days before Brianna's death addressed to specific individuals in her life.

Detective Marshall says, "Brianna had made suicidal comments previously to friends, back in October of this year. This continued through the evening of her death, with some self-harming actions early in the evening and a text message to another friend indicating the thought of suicide."
