Delilah Bravo was 18 and identified as a young mother from Lynwood when she was found shot at her residence in Venice, California, on September 1, 2025. The Los Angeles County medical examiner recorded the manner of death as homicide and the cause as a gunshot wound to the head; the coroner logged the case as 2025-13884 with a formal pronouncement that Monday.

Investigators focused on a single suspect, 20-year-old Andres Hernan Contreras, who may be the father of Bravo’s one-year-old daughter. He was arrested, booked and held at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic on $3,000,000 bail. A court hearing was scheduled for October 2 at 8:30 a.m. in Department W31 at the Airport Courthouse on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Family and friends posted tributes online remembering Bravo and noting she left behind a baby daughter. Does anyone have information about Delilah’s time in Venice or contacts who might help investigators and the family?
