Influencer Santos Salazar Freed After Attempted-Murder Booking Rejected

Los Angeles police responded to a domestic-violence call at a residence linked to influencer Santos Salazar and his partner, social-media personality Brianna Olsen. Salazar was booked early on a Thursday on suspicion of attempted murder and held on a $1 million bail. After several days in custody, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to file criminal charges, and Salazar was released the following Monday evening.

The incident stemmed from a domestic disagreement that escalated into a police call. An alleged eyewitness described the situation as an attempted homicide, prompting the initial booking. Salazar’s attorney, Nicholas Rosenberg, argued that the charge was “grossly overcharged” and that the evidence did not support a specific intent to kill. The district attorney’s office ultimately rejected the case, resulting in Salazar’s release without charges.

Brianna Olsen publicly maintained that Salazar is innocent, describing the case as a “big misunderstanding” and emphasizing her desire for him to return home to care for their newborn son, Sunday. Attorney Rosenberg reiterated that the booking was excessive and that the district attorney’s rejection should allow Salazar to leave custody unimpeded.
