Influencer Santos Salazar Arrested in Los Angeles on Attempted Murder Charge

LAPD says the probe is ongoing, so most public updates have come from Brianna Olsen’s social posts.

Overview

  • Law enforcement arrested Santos Salazar on an attempted murder felony after officers responded to a domestic violence call to a residence linked to Salazar and Brianna Olsen on Thursday.
  • Online jail records and multiple outlets reported Salazar was taken into custody around 12:30 a.m. and booked about 4:40–4:45 a.m., and that he is being held on $1 million bail.
  • The LAPD has limited public comment while investigators continue the active inquiry and has not released specifics about the alleged crime.
  • Olsen posted a Snapchat clip showing what appears to be an arrest, livestreamed updates that included an apparent jail phone call, and said their infant son is safe.
  • Early viral screenshots of arrest records could not be independently verified by some outlets, but subsequent reporting has relied on LAPD statements and jail booking records; next steps include formal charging and an arraignment that will make more details public.
