High school tennis star killed by suspected drunk driver in Manhattan Beach, police say
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. (KABC) — A community is mourning after a Loyola High School tennis star was run down by an alleged drunk driver in Manhattan Beach.
Friends and loved ones are coming to grips with the death of 18-year-old Braun Levi, who was one month away from graduation.
Manhattan Beach police said he was walking with a friend down Sepulveda Boulevard around 1 a.m. Sunday, when he was struck.
The driver, 33-year-old Jenia Belt, is now facing possible DUI and murder charges.
On Sunday night, Levi’s tight-knit school community packed a tear-filled prayer vigil on campus.
The groups says they’re finding strength in each other, and are now wondering how they will move forward without their friend.
