Community Mourns the Tragic Loss of Rosalin Lewis, 24, as Investigation Unfold

In a heart-wrenching incident that has left a Texas community in shock, Rosalin Lewis, a beloved cheerleading coach and mother of three, was found dead over the weekend, with her boyfriend now facing murder charges.

Authorities in Jasper, Texas, have charged 23-year-old William Christian Thomas, Lewis’s boyfriend, with her murder. Thomas, a resident of Livingston, is currently held in the Jasper County Jail on a $1 million bond. The exact circumstances surrounding the tragic event are still under investigation, and it remains unclear whether Thomas has entered a plea or obtained legal representation.

The Jasper Police Department responded to a distress call at Myrtis Village apartments in Jasper around 4 a.m. on November 18, where they discovered Rosalin Lewis deceased. Police have revealed that the cause of her death was determined to be “blunt force trauma,” according to local news outlets.

A GoFundMe campaign initiated by Lewis’s loved ones aims to assist with funeral expenses and highlights that she leaves behind three children aged 2, 3, and 5. The fundraiser emphasizes Lewis’s significant role as a cheerleading coach, co-founding “Stunning Stars Cheer & Dance” during her senior year of high school alongside her mother, Schwanda Scott.

“Rosalin’s impact was so amazing that every young girl she trained became a Cheerleader for Jasper High School,” wrote Scott in the campaign. “Rosalin will truly be missed, and her legacy will live on forever with the love and memories from her children, family, team, friends, and the Jasper community.”

The local community is grappling with the tragic loss of a cherished member known for her dedication to cheerleading and positive influence on aspiring young athletes. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Rosalin Lewis’s death continues.
