A 28-year-old high school coach was “randomly shot and killed” while standing on a rooftop bar during a conference, according to police reports.

Ayden Burt, a coach from Jasper Independent School District in Texas, was in San Antonio for the Texas High School Coaches Association Conference. Just after midnight, she was fatally shot at a rooftop bar on the 500 block of E. Crockett St., police said.

“Our Homicide Detectives are working to bring justice to Ayden and her family; however, details are limited,” the San Antonio Police Department stated.

Burt was at the bar with other coaches from across the state when the incident occurred.

“She was sitting right next to me, laughing and talking, and then she was bleeding in my lap,” Humble High School football coach Robert Murphy shared on X. “My coaches did everything they could, performing CPR to save her life. She was excited about the upcoming year. Traumatizing.”

Jasper Independent School District Superintendent John Seybold announced her death in a statement on social media.
