Only weeks earlier, Santos Salazar and influencer Brianna Olsen had been sharing one of the biggest moments of their lives online: the arrival of their baby boy.

By the early hours of Aug. 13, the picture had changed dramatically.

Salazar was arrested in Los Angeles for attempted murder after police responded to what authorities described as a domestic violence incident. He was later booked into jail and held on $1 million bail as investigators continued examining what happened.

The arrest marked a startling turn for a couple whose relationship — including the recent birth of their son — had been followed by hundreds of thousands of people on social media.

Police Responded Just After Midnight

According to a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson, officers were called to a reported domestic violence incident shortly after midnight on Thursday, Aug. 13.

Police arrested an adult male suspect for attempted murder. Salazar was subsequently booked into a Los Angeles jail at 4:43 a.m., according to jail records.

As of the report published the following day, he remained in custody with bail set at $1 million.

Authorities did not release extensive details about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The LAPD spokesperson said the investigation remained ongoing and declined to provide additional information, citing the need to protect the integrity of the case.

That left many questions unanswered about precisely what led to officers being called to the residence and the events preceding Salazar’s arrest.

Their Son Had Arrived Only Weeks Earlier

The timing of the arrest made the development particularly striking for people who had followed Salazar and Olsen online.

In July, the pair welcomed their son, Sunday Ray.

They had openly documented parts of their relationship for a large social media audience, and earlier in the year they shared hospital videos surrounding their son’s birth.

Those posts captured a family entering a new chapter together.

Then, within weeks, Salazar was in police custody facing an attempted murder arrest.

The sharp contrast between those recent family moments and the events of Aug. 13 quickly became part of the story unfolding publicly around the couple.

Olsen Shared What Appeared to Be His Arrest

Olsen did not disappear from social media after Salazar was taken into custody.

Instead, she continued posting updates and addressed what was happening.

On Snapchat, Olsen uploaded a video that appeared to show Salazar being arrested. In the footage, a man could be seen being handcuffed and escorted out of a residence by police officers.

Over the video, Olsen wrote a brief message to her followers apologizing to them.

Later that day, she offered another glimpse into what she was doing as Salazar remained detained.

“I’ve been talking to lawyers all day,” Olsen told followers, adding that she hoped Salazar could return home around Monday after seeing a judge.

Her posts suggested that, even while the legal situation was developing, she was continuing to communicate with the online audience that had followed the couple’s relationship.

She Continued Posting Photos of Them Together

Olsen also shared photographs from the couple’s maternity shoot while Salazar was in police custody.

The images came from an entirely different moment in their lives — before Sunday Ray’s birth and before the arrest that suddenly placed Salazar at the center of a criminal investigation.

The posts underscored how recently the couple had been publicly documenting their growing family.

Their social media presence had included pregnancy memories, hospital footage and relationship updates. Now, the same platforms were being used to address Salazar’s detention.

The shift unfolded rapidly.

Their son had been born in July. Police responded to the domestic violence call shortly after midnight on Aug. 13. By 4:43 that morning, Salazar had been booked into jail.

Within hours, Olsen was speaking publicly about lawyers and what she hoped might happen after his court appearance.

Major Questions Remain Unanswered

Despite the attention surrounding the arrest, authorities released few details about the underlying incident.

Police confirmed that officers had responded to a domestic violence call and that an adult male suspect was arrested for attempted murder, but the department declined to expand on the investigation.

No fuller account of the events leading up to the arrest was provided in the information released at the time.

That distinction remains important as the case develops.

An arrest represents the beginning of a legal process, not its conclusion, and the police investigation was still active when the information became public.

Both Olsen and Salazar were contacted for comment, according to the report.

For followers who had watched their relationship through social media, the developments created a jarring new reality around a couple who had so recently been celebrating the arrival of their child.

Less than a month separated the public joy surrounding Sunday Ray’s birth from the early-morning arrest that placed Salazar behind bars on $1 million bail.

For now, the most consequential questions — exactly what happened that night and what comes next for Salazar — remain tied to an investigation that Los Angeles police say is still ongoing.
