| Brandy Vela |
Texas City is located in Galveston County and has a population of just over 45,000.
During the afternoon of that day, Brandy committed suicide by shooting herself in the chest. She died in front of her parents and grandparents.
She had sent a text to members of her family just prior to her death, stating: “I love you so much just remember that please and I’m so sorry for everything.”
Brandy was a senior at Texas City High School. She was the victim of bullying including online cyberbullying. She was told by others that she was fat and ugly.
Bullies placed her photo on dating sites stating her cell phone number and saying she was looking for sex.
 |
| Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, who said "I am ground like a grain of wheat", pray for Brandy and for all who are ground down by bullying. |
Brandy advised the Texas City School District of harassing messages being sent to her phone. The school district stated that the app being used was untraceable. She was advised to change her cell phone number.
If you have any information about the persons involved in the harassment of Brandy, you are urged to call the Texas City Police at 409 945-TIPS. All information is anonymous. You can also contact them via email at tips@texas-city-tx.org.
