KPRC-TV in Houston reported authorities said the teen's brother made the 911 call and was performing CPR on her when deputies arrived.
Authorities told KPRC the victim was found with multiple stab wounds in what they believe was her bedroom.

According to KPRC, there were no other children inside the home and investigators believe the teens' parents were asleep at the time.

A motive has not been confirmed and so far no arrests have been made.
