Natalia Monet Cox was 21 when she was shot and killed in her Austin, Texas apartment on March 31, 2021. A senior biology student at Huston-Tillotson University with plans to become a plastic surgeon, she was active in community service and campus organizations.

Natalia had recently met 24-year-old Henry Keith Watson Jr. and they had gone on a few dates. On the night she died Watson arrived uninvited at her apartment armed with a gun. Natalia called police and tried to calm him over FaceTime, but Watson forced entry and shot her; she was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. Watson was arrested shortly after and charged with first-degree felony murder. He had previously made threats against Natalia that she had reported to police, and during proceedings was later found incompetent to stand trial and sent to a mental health facility.

Natalia’s family has filed a lawsuit against the apartment complex management alleging negligent security. Does anyone have information about Natalia’s activities or the complex that could help the ongoing civil or criminal inquiries?
