There is still not official word on the cause of death of North Texas forward Eboniey Jeter, who was found dead in her Mozart Hall dorm room on Tuesday morning.
The Talons, a big-time spirit group at UNT, organized and held a vigil on campus Tuesday night and lit the clock tower green in honor of Jeter.
New women's basketball head coach Jalie Mitchell and her media crew decided against a press conference this afternoon and instead released a statement.
“As a family, we are hurting. We lost a teammate, a friend and a sister. This is a very tough time for our university and for our team, but we stand strong for Eboniey and for her family. My focus right now is on the Jeter family and my team. We are grieving, but together, we will get through this and make sure we honor the life of a sweet, young lady who is gone from us way too soon. We ask that you please respect the privacy of her family and our team as we go through the grieving process.”This is such a difficult situation for the team, and for coach Mitchell, who just took the position in April. So far, NBC 5 in Dallas-Ft. Worth is the only outlet I have heard report anything about the cause of death. They're reporting police think it was suicide:
