Braun Levi was killed by a drunk driver, but he continues to touch lives.
A senseless tragedy struck the tennis world on Sunday night, May 4th.
Eighteen-year-old junior standout Braun Levi of Loyola High School was walking with a friend around 1 a.m. when he was struck and killed by a drunk driver.
The Los Angeles Times reports the driver, who was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide and driving under the influence of alcohol, had her license suspended stemming from a prior drunk driving incident in November of 2023.
Now, the tennis community is celebrating Braun Levi’s life and his devotion to helping others.
The Live Like Braun Foundation has been established in his memory to help those in need. Please visit LiveLikeBraunFoundation.org for more information.
