MIDLAND, TX -- As the Midland Police Department continues investigating the alleged rape and subsequent death of a 15-year-old girl, a GoFundMe has been created to help her family as they deal with their loss.
According to the Midland Police Department, emergency services responded to the teen's house on October 20. Authorities have not confirmed any additional details.
“To the extent that there may be a criminal investigation involving sexual assault of a child, the City is unable to comment or confirm any information.” a City of Midland Spokesperson told local media.
According to her family, they found Jasmine in the front yard beaten with major injuries.
Jasmine was transported to a Dallas hospital to be treated for a major head injury. She ultimately succumbed to a heart attack after her family chose to take her off life support.
In addition to the GoFundMe, the Midland High School Softball Team is also raising money to help Jasmine’s family.
Jasmine was part of the Lady Dawgs Softball team. During Thursday's game, the team carried her #12 jersey around the bases.
"As many of you are aware, a member of the Midland High softball team and her family have experienced a devastating life event.
