Authorities in Texas have charged the boyfriend of a beloved cheerleading coach and mother of three in her murder after she was found dead last weekend.

William Christian Thomas, 23, of Livingston, was taken into custody on a murder charge in connection with the death of his 24-year-old girlfriend, Rosalin Lewis, local stations KBMT, KETK, and KBTV-TV report, citing the Jasper Police Department.

The reports say he's being held in the Jasper County Jail on a $1 million bond. It’s unclear if he has entered a plea or retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.

Officers responded to the Myrtis Village apartments in Jasper at about 4 a.m. local time on Nov. 18 and found Lewis dead. Police said her cause of death was determined to be “blunt force trauma," according to the outlets.

A GoFundMe campaign created by Lewis’ loved ones to help offset funeral expenses states that she is survived by three children, ages 2, 3 and 5.
