High School Seniors Killed by Drunk Drivers in California, Nevada

Two high school seniors, Braun Levi from California and McKenzie Scott from Nevada, were recently killed in separate incidents involving suspected drunk drivers. Levi, a standout tennis player from Loyola High School in Los Angeles, was struck while crossing the street in Manhattan Beach shortly after his family's home was destroyed by fire, and the alleged driver, Jenia Belt, has been arrested and charged with DUI and homicide. Scott, a senior at Arbor View High School in Las Vegas who was weeks away from graduation and held a full-ride scholarship, was fatally struck outside her school by Keenan Jackson, who authorities say showed signs of impairment and was charged with DUI resulting in death and reckless driving. Both incidents have deeply affected their school communities, with tributes highlighting the students' achievements, character, and the promise of their futures. The tragedies have prompted renewed calls for vigilance against impaired driving and for community support for the victims' families.
