Jack Elliott’s’murder’: 19-year-old’s is going to prison after it was discovered that the rookie may have been pushed to death
Delaney Brennan was charged with tampering with evidence, a felony, and she faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Five college students from Texas are charged with crimes in connection with the 2019 death of a freshman at Texas Christian University, according to FORT WORTH. Jack Elliot was allegedly pushed off a boat by one of the students while they were making out. According to a witness, Delaney Brennan, 21, shoved Elliot, 22, while they were flirting, causing him to fall from the bow of a 22-foot boat. In October 2019, the incident happened in Lake Travis, a man-made lake northwest of Austin.

When Jack, 19, and Delaney were “kissing,” she gave him a “playful shove.” That evening, Jack lost his life in the water after falling off the boat, colliding with a propeller. The teenagers on board at the time allegedly tried to conceal the facts by telling officials lies. They threw their alcohol bottles off the side of the boat while apologizing to Jack’s family for their ignorance.

Jack’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in 2020, which made the actual facts of the incident public knowledge. Another girl who was on the boat, Elle Weber, asserted in a written declaration in the lawsuit, “At the front of the boat, Jack and Delaney were kissing and making out. Jack jumped from the boat after receiving a “playful little shove” from her.” In one affidavit, a different adolescent said that Delaney repeatedly said, “He dropped! I hadn’t intended to shove him.”

After Jack’s passing, fashion student Delaney, now 21 years old, claimed she got a tattoo of his initials on her wrist to remind herself how much “he loved life.” She stated in her own deposition, “I made that decision because I wanted to have a memento of him forever. I wanted to remember how much dad enjoyed life when I glanced down, and it served as a type of reminder to always live life to the fullest and to basically follow in his footsteps.”

Delaney is currently one of five students that face charges. She was charged with felony evidence tampering after she allegedly helped remove a cellphone footage. She might spend up to 10 years behind bars and pay a $10,000 fine. On August 17, Delaney will show up for a preliminary hearing at the Travis County Criminal Court.

Twelve university students were drinking and wakeboarding on the tragic day. Jack’s demise remained a mystery until Weber acknowledged months after the incident that she had not given the police the whole story. “I wish that had not happened and I wish I’d told cops everything the first time,” she said.

The boating excursion in 2019 was headed by Carson Neel, whose father Billy operated the Northshore Marina. The Orange County Register stated that Carson told the group where the life jackets were stashed but did not give any further safety advice to his buddies. After Jack fell off the boat, the others onboard shone the lights from their cellphones into the sea to find him.

“A lot of individuals were freaking out and sobbing and not communicating effectively,” Carson stated in a sworn document reviewed by the OC Register, according to the Daily Mail. “I tried to be as cool as possible because I knew it was serious and screaming out would make it worse.” The group, unable to find Jack, headed back to the coast. One of the first discrepancies in the case occurred when Elle dialed 911 and gave the police her identity as “Elle Macpherson.” In the meantime, the group emptied their booze bottles into the lake.

After Jack vanished, the youngsters “hatched a scheme to conceal the reality from the authorities and even Jack’s family in Newport Beach,” according to police reports. After ten days and more than 100 feet below the surface, Jack’s body was found. Investigators from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office questioned each teen separately since their accounts did not line up. The narrative was finally made public, despite the adolescents’ Fifth Amendment request to remain silent during the judicial process.

For allegedly dumping the booze, Carson was also charged with tampering with physical evidence, a felony offense, and he now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Elle has been charged with a misdemeanor for providing a police officer with false information. Josh Evans of Aliso Viejo, one of the teenagers on the boat, was charged with a misdemeanor for providing alcohol to a minor. Anthony Salazar was charged with perjury, a misdemeanor, in the indictment.
