“The University of Houston community is saddened to learn of the tragic death of Professor Stefan Andersson,” read a UH-issued statement. “Our hearts go out to his colleagues, family and friends during this difficult time.”

According to ABC 13, investigators say Ana Trujillo, 44, who was arrested in the upscale apartment early Sunday morning, is claiming self-defense in the alleged killing of Andersson.

Trujillo remains jailed with her bail set at $100,000 and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.
