LIVINGSTON, TEXAS: Rosalin Lewis, 24, was a mother and a cheerleading coach. She was discovered dead in her apartment in the early morning of November 18, as a result of "blunt force trauma," according to the Jasper Police Department.

Officials have arrested Lewis' boyfriend, William Christian Thomas, 23, and charged him with her murder. The couple had recently celebrated their first anniversary, reported the Daily Mail.

Thomas had posted a celebratory video of the two embracing, with the caption, "My world," on social media to mark the occasion.

Lewis is survived by her three children, Alakai, 2, Aria, 3, and Kaelum, 5, and her mother Schwanda Scott.

Days before her untimely death, Lewis had taken to social media to promote a fundraiser for Stunning Stars Cheer & Dance, a local dance group she co-founded with her mother when she was in high school.

Investigation into Rosalin Lewis' death is still ongoing

Lewis's boyfriend shared some of their pictures on social media before her murder.

One of the images showed Thomas and Lewis holding each other on a football field, with the caption reading, "Couldn’t get her out my mind if I tried, My obsession."

Thomas is being held in the Jasper County jail at present, with his bond being set at $1 million.

Schwanda Scott set up a fundraiser for Rosalin Lewis' family

The GoFundMe page states that Lewis was better known as "RoRo" and “Coach Ro,” and "was taken away for her family from a malicious act of someone she trusted and once loved."

"Her lifetime dream was to become a Veterinary Tech and to continue leading and Coaching Stunning Stars to the State Championship. Aside from being the Head Cheer Coach of Stunning Stars she also Coached Jasper Youth Cheer while providing private cheer lessons," wrote Scott.

"Rosalin’s impact was so amazing that every young girl she trained became a Cheerleader for Jasper High School. 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 fundraiser read.

The fundraiser has already raised more than $2,990 as of November 26.
