article: A Miami University of Ohio student killed by her boyfriend in February was shot in her own bed in a locked bedroom as she slept fully clothed, according to a grisly coroner's report revealed Tuesday. Rebecca Eldemire, 21, was shot repeatedly in the face with a .357 Magnum by her boyfriend, 27-year-old Larry Tipton. After shooting Eldemire twice, Tipton laid down face up beside her and fatally shot himself. 'On a desk within (Eldemire's bedroom) is a two-page (suicide) note written by him,' reads the report obtained by the Cincinnati Enquirer. Scroll down for video . Killed: Larry Tipton, left,  fatally shot his ex-girlfriend, 21-year-old Rebecca Eldemire, right, before taking his own life in her off-campus apartment in Oxford, Ohio on Sunday morning . When Rebecca Eldemire called 911 the night before her murder for help getting away from her boyfriend, one painful excerpt reveals how naive the 21-year-old was to what her older boyfriend was capable of. Eldemire: I'm having a bit of an issue with my boyfriend...He's coming in from out of town and wants to talk to me. He obviously knows where I live and I'm just a little nervous about the situation. I broke up with him today . 911 Operator: OK, do you know, does he have any weapons or anything? Eldemire: He does own guns, yes, but I don't think he would bring any with him. Police officers left after Eldemire told them she was okay to handle Larry Tipton on her own. He murdered her the next morning before turning the gun on himself. Source: WCPO . Eldemire was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, according to the report. She was shot at 'intermediate' range, the report says--meaning close enough to cause powder burns but not point blank. Investigators noted that they found no signs of struggle, the Enquirer reports. Tipton left a suicide note. Another note was found at his Columbus home. According to their Facebook pages, the couple had been dating for a few years and were pictured smiling together as recently as last month. The day before she was murdered, Eldemire contacted Oxford Police to say that she wanted protection from her ex-boyfriend, Sergeant Jon Varley of Oxford Police said at a press conference on Monday. Officers arrived and stopped Tipton in the parking lot of the apartment where Eldemire lived and on her request, they took him up to the home, Varley said. 'After a brief conversation, Eldemire told officers they could leave as they were no longer needed,' he added, and the officers left. But at 8.45am on Sunday, her roommates called police, who arrived and found the bodies and one gun inside the room, they said. Tipton, who was from Columbus, was not a student at the university. Eldemire, a double major of geography and geographical information systems, had one parent living in Maineville and another in Columbus, as well as a brother. Together: Eldemire, who started dating Lipton in 2012, had called police to her apartment the day before her murder to protect her when he arrived. But after speaking with him, she sent the officers away, police said . She worked as a student supervisor at the library, and had spent a previous summer teaching students English in a remote village in Tanzania, the college said. Eldemire's uncle, Stephen Wright, released a statement on behalf of her family. 'We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beautiful daughter Rebecca,' it read. 'We appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers, but ask that you respect the family's privacy at this time. 'The Rebecca C. Eldemire BEEPS (Betterment for Environmental and Earth Protection) Foundation will be created in her honor, striving toward Rebecca's lifelong goal of creating a more sustainable planet.' Tipton's parents, who are often pictured with Eldemire on their Facebook pages, also released a statement following the deaths, WCPO reported. 'As you can imagine, this horrible tragedy has left our family in shock and absolutely heartbroken,' Larry and MaryBeth Tipton said in a statement. 'To lose our son, and also Becca, whom we loved like a member of our family, is unthinkable. Scene: The next morning, her roommates heard loud bangs inside her bedroom and called police . Probe: Eldemire was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, according to the report. She was shot at 'intermediate' range, the report says--meaning close enough to cause powder burns but not point blank . 'We ask that our privacy be respected as we cope with this as a family and appreciate the prayers and understanding of our friends and community.' Eldemire's death is the first homicide of a Miami University student in three decades, the Enquirer reported. 'This is a terrible tragedy,' said Miami President David Hodge. 'Our hearts go out to the families and friends. It is an incredibly painful and sad time for Miami.' Her family has set up a foundation in her memory called The Rebecca C. Eldemire BEEPS Foundation - Betterment for Environmental and Earth Protection. See below for video .
