Hayden Panettiere’s HOA Were Once Warned To Call 911 If Brian Hickerson Was Spotted

Hayden Panettiere’s neighbors were once warned to call the police immediately if they spotted Brian Hickerson on the property, TMZ reports.

The outlet adds that “a warning poster with his photo went up after a string of complaints about his alleged behavior.” Specifically, Mia Terrazas, one of Panettiere’s neighbors who lived one door down from the actress’s West Hollywood condo, told the outlet that the HOA shared the warning at the end of August 2025. Residents were told not to let Brian inside the building, and they were instructed to call the cops if he was spotted.

The posters were put up after “years of disturbances involving Brian,” Terrazas said, adding that “Hayden bought the condo after moving from New York … and says Brian had been living there for the past two years.” However, the poster was taken down by the HOA roughly a week after it was put up, adding that she was told Brian was “no longer considered a threat.”

Terrazas further told the outlet that she was always scared of Brian and “believed he was dangerous the whole time he was living with Hayden.” She says he was still living there after the court issued a no-contact order, which came following his 2020 arrest, in which cops say he punched the actress in the face. He ultimately pleaded no contest to felony domestic violence and was sentenced to 45 days in county jail. Terrazas added that she called 911 at least half a dozen times due to disturbances at Hayden’s apartment.

Panettiere was found dead in a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, Aug. 16, and Hickerson was in the Airbnb at the time, but was sleeping in another room. It was his brother Zach who found the actress unresponsive in an armchair in cardiac arrest. First responders attempted to resuscitate her, but she was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.

The police, the coroner’s office, and now the DEA are assisting in the investigation into her death.
