As a neighbor, my heart breaks for the Meismer family, who are reeling from the sudden and violent loss of their loved one. This is an unimaginable tragedy—one that has shaken not only their family but our entire community.

Authorities have identified Aundre Matthews, 18, as the suspect in the alleged stabbing death of a fellow classmate who was a minor. The Goose Creek CISD Police Department is handling the investigation. While an arrest has been made, nothing can lessen the devastation or bring back the life that was lost.

In the days following this tragedy, the community has circulated information that the suspect himself publicly shared online prior to the incident. These materials appear to reflect repeated and serious disciplinary issues during his time as a student, which he referenced openly on social media. Seeing these posts has only deepened the shock, grief, and unanswered questions surrounding this loss and has added to the emotional toll felt by the Meismer family and so many others.

This tragedy has profoundly impacted the Meismer family, as well as students and staff who witnessed or were affected by the incident. The loss has created an immeasurable void and placed overwhelming emotional and practical burdens on the family as they begin navigating life after such a devastating event.

Purpose of This Fundraiser

This GoFundMe has been created specifically to help cover legal services and related legal expenses as the Meismer family begins navigating the complicated and ongoing legal process connected to this tragedy.

The family is also receiving support through a separate MealTrain, which has helped with meals and accepted donations toward funeral and other immediate living expenses. This GoFundMe is not intended to duplicate those efforts but rather to address the substantial legal costs that are not covered elsewhere.

Providing this support allows the family to secure appropriate legal representation and guidance during an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping the Meismer family in your thoughts and prayers is also a meaningful way to offer support.

Thank you for standing with the Meismer family during one of the most difficult moments of their lives.
