The man who police say gunned down Ole Miss student Ally Kostial was a spoiled “daddy’s boy” who “manipulated her emotionally …until the very last second,” according to a former college dorm neighbor.

University of Mississippi at Oxford student Rex Ravita told FOX News’ Shepard Smith in a Thursday interview that he was “shocked but not surprised” when Brandon Theesfeld, 22, of Texas, was charged with Kostial’s murder because he “knew the type of person that he was.”

“Somebody that does something like this, they have to have no respect for women,” he explained.

Ravita said he believed the pair dated on and off, but were never in an exclusive relationship. Photos that surfaced earlier this week show Kostial and Theesfeld posing together back in 2016.

“I truly believe that he manipulated her emotionally to have her believe that he loved her the same way she did, and I think he had her on the hook until the very last second,” Ravita told local station KMOV 4.

Ravita did not have a good impression of Theesfeld when they lived in the same dorm, he told the outlet.

“I’m not going to sugarcoat it, he was pretty much a daddy’s boy type, constantly had to reference his father’s money, how his dad could get him out of anything, just that attitude all the time,” Ravita said. “Any type of vulgar comment he could say, any type of rude comment to anybody in our dorm, any of the women.”

Theesfeld’s dad, Daniel Theesfeld, is a doctor in Fort Worth who earlier this week insisted, “I know my son is innocent.”

Kostial, who was from St. Louis, Missouri, was discovered shot eight times Saturday morning near Sardis Lake, around 20 miles from the Ole Miss campus.

Theesfeld was arrested in connection with her death Monday and booked on suspicion of murder. He has since been suspended from the university.

“Of course it was surprising because I knew him and of the situation, but to hear that the circumstances of how and why it happened, it just all clicked and made sense,” Ravita told the local station.

Meanwhile, Kostial’s roommate Lauren Riddick described her friend as “pure light…[who] was happy, even when she was sad” in an interview with local outlet WLBT.

She may have fallen victim to her own good will, Riddick explained.

“The thing about Ally was that she was so kind that I could see herself being kind to even the most evil of person. And not really seeing them for who they are,” she said. “I think that’s how she could’ve gotten wrapped back up into the same situation over and over.”
