Family lived upscale existence
Authorities had yet to say how the baby died, or what the older girl’s injuries were.
Fifteen miles away, police found the body of their mother in her black Porsche Cayenne after the parent crashing her car into a tree, killing herself at Redondo Beach at just on 5am, the LA Times reported.
Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, the children’s mother, was fleeing the family home where she had murdered her partner, the baby’s father, since identified by the L.A Medical Examiner as Jaelen Allan Chaney, 29.
The man’s body was found at the Montecito Apartments complex in Woodland Hills where the woman lived with her romantic partner and her two daughters, who Chaney is believed to have fathered the youngest girl.
There, they found the body of a eight-month-old baby lying next to her older, injured sister, on the right shoulder of the road. The infant was pronounced dead the scene, and the nine-year-old girl was rushed to a hospital, KCAL reported.
‘knife with biological evidence’
Apartments in the well to do building where the family lived start at $3650 all the way up to $5,600-a-month.
Chaney an Air Force mechanic was found stabbed to death in the family’s apartment by a neighbor who saw blood ‘pouring’ under the door.
The man was found lying face down in a pool of his own blood, KTLA reported.
The couple had an argument in the pre-dawn hours that turned violent, with detectives finding a knife ‘with biological evidence’ at the scene, authorities said.
A neighbor at the apartments did ‘hear commotion coming from the couple’s apartment before the woman left with the children,’ according to the Los Angeles Times.
‘Their door was wide open, there was blood on the floor leading into their apartment, and then a trail of it in the hallway leading up to the elevator and I saw some blood on the walls,’ one of Johnson’s neighbors told KABC-TV.
No known murder motive
It’s thought that Chaney was stabbed to death at just on 3.40am by the man’s girlfriend and the mother of the two infant girls.
It was while fleeing the couple’s residence that Johnson dumped her two young daughters out of the car along the 405 Freeway. It remained unclear if the 8 month old baby infant was already dead when cops discovered the sisters. The 9 year old sustained minor injuries the LA Times reported.
Soon after the mom intentionally crashed her Porsche vehicle at Redondo beach, killing herself. Police say she was driving at speeds in excess of 100 mph.
Investigators linked Chaney’s death, discovered deceased by neighbors circa 7.30am to that of the two children dumped along the highway.
Neighbors said the young family lived in the posh Woodland Hills apartment for a little over a year with the two children and had recently returned from a European vacation.
Authorities have yet to say what motivated the mother and the spate of ensuing violence as cops continued to investigate.
