A high school tennis star from California who was just a month away from graduating was struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver over the weekend, police say.

Braun Levi, 18, had relocated to the Manhattan Beach area after his family lost their home in the Palisades Fire, according to the Los Angeles Times. He was mowed down by 33-year-old Jenia Belt, of Los Angeles, at around 1 a.m. on Sunday while walking with a friend down Sepulveda Boulevard, the Manhattan Beach Police Department reports.

“Despite life saving measures, the pedestrian succumbed to their injuries and was pronounced deceased at the hospital,” MBPD officials said in a press release Sunday. “The driver of the involved vehicle, 33 year old Jenia Belt of Los Angeles, was arrested for felony DUI and murder.”

Levi was reportedly making his way up the national tennis ranks as a senior at Loyola High School, a private Roman Catholic college-preparatory institution in Los Angeles, local NBC affiliate KNBC reported. He was memorialized at a prayer vigil held on campus Sunday night and remembered as someone who was selfless and always trying to do the right things as a player and teammate, according to the outlet.

“Braun organized the Loyola Strong retreat that we had for students whose families lost their homes in the Palisades Fire,” Father John Quinn, a school priest, reportedly said at the vigil. “He himself lost his home in the Palisades Fire,” Quinn said about Levi. “Somebody so close to graduation who loved this school so much was taken from us far too soon.”

Days before his death, Levi reportedly won his fourth consecutive Mission League doubles championship for Loyola, along with teammate Cooper Schwartz.
