My thoughts exactly. Salem's speech implies that she knows about Ruby being the 'smaller soul' Ozpin chose as humanities last hope because of her silver eyes. Who's to say Summer wasn't previously chosen by Ozpin for the same reason? Salem has her sights set on snuffing out everyone's hope, likely aiming to have Ruby killed in order to do so. So it really wouldn't surprise me if Salem was responsible for Summer's death for the same reason, whether personally or indirectly.
