Neighbor Claims Brian Hickerson Threatened Hayden Panettiere | Raleigh News

A neighbor of Hayden Panettiere claims she was terrified of her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson, describing him as a destructive presence who showed up early in the morning and even allegedly caused property damage. The neighbor says she witnessed Panettiere being taken away on a gurney, appearing injured, and called 911 multiple times—only to find warning signs about Hickerson removed by the homeowner’s association. Hickerson has not responded publicly. Panettiere, 36, died August 16; her father called her a “bright light,” and she is survived by her mother, daughter, and brother, who passed away last year. Police reports say Hickerson was at the apartment when she was declared dead and was escorted out with his brother. Separately, police responded to a welfare check at Hickerson’s South Carolina home, which officials say had no connection to Panettiere’s death.
