Braun Levi was an 18-year-old senior and standout tennis player at Loyola High School in California with a bright future ahead, including a planned college tennis career. On May 4, 2025, while walking with a friend in Manhattan Beach, he was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by a woman allegedly under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license. The impact of his death rippled through his school, family, and community, sparking grief and calls for change. His parents later established the Live Like Braun Foundation to honor his legacy and raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving.

In early 2026, the woman accused in the crash pled not guilty to murder and other felony counts, with prosecutors alleging her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at the time of the collision. Braun’s story is one of a promising young life cut tragically short, and of a family channeling grief into advocacy and a broader push to prevent similar losses.
