WOODLAND HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The deaths of a baby and a couple
who were found at three separate locations in Los Angeles County are being investigated as a murder-suicide that began when the woman allegedly
stabbed her boyfriend to death, Eyewitness News has learned.
Investigators say it appears that Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, killed
her live-in boyfriend at their Woodland Hills apartment around 3:40 a.m.,
then drove off with her two daughters who had witnessed the homicide.
She then apparently forced the two girls out of her vehicle in the middle
of the 405 Freeway in Westchester. The older girl, a 9-year-old, was
holding the 8-month-old when they were ejected from the SUV and hit the roadway, investigators say. The girl lost hold of the baby, who was then
struck by a vehicle on the freeway and was later pronounced dead at the
scene.
Johnson then drove to Redondo Beach, where she died after crashing her
Porsche SUV into a tree at high speeds.
Sources say Johnson had been living in Woodland Hills with 29-year-old
Jaelen Chaney and they had been a couple for several years. She was in the process of divorcing another man, the father of her 9-year-old daughter. Authorities have not yet confirmed if Chaney was the biological father of
the baby who died on the freeway.
How events unfolded
Neighbors said they heard a loud argument coming from a unit in the
building in the middle of the night before Chaney was stabbed to death. A 26-year-old woman who lives in the building next to the apartment says
Monday morning, she saw a bloody scene.
"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," she said.
Her father called 911.
"Called the police and told them that something was not right," he
recalled. "And they told me, when I spoke to the EMT, to go in and check
on the body. So I did. And he was deceased, he was facedown on the floor.
And there was a lot of blood."
It appears that by the time neighbors noticed the scene and called 911,
Johnson had already killed her infant daughter and died in the crash, as
police were not called to the Woodland Hills scene until about 7:30 a.m.
405 Freeway death
Authorities believe Johnson drove away from the scene of the fatal
stabbing with her two daughters, an 8-month-old baby and a 9-year-old,
damaging the apartment gate in the process.
Around 4:30 a.m., the mother and the two children were driving northbound
in a dark colored Porsche Cayenne on the 405 Freeway in the Westchester
area when Johnson forced her two children out of the vehicle,
investigators believe.
"The 9-year-old girl was holding the baby at that time when she was
ejected from the vehicle," said LAPD Lt. Guy Golan. "As she hit the
roadway, she injured herself and she let go of the infant, being in the
middle of the freeway."
The baby was struck by a vehicle and later pronounced dead at the scene.
Drivers who discovered the children on the freeway near Centinela Avenue
called 911.
The older girl, the sole survivor, was transported to a hospital. She is
now in custody of Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
Sources told Eyewitness News the 9-year-old girl was a witness to the
Woodland Hills homicide.
The Highway Patrol has asked the public for help in confirming details of
the freeway incident. Anyone who may have driven by the area at that time
was asked to go back and look at dash cameras.
"If anyone else was in the area, northbound 405 at Centinela Avenue
approximate 4:30 (a.m.), we'd appreciate if you could call with any information," said CHP Officer Isabel Diaz.
The mother then drove her car at speeds in excess of 100 mph in Redondo
Beach, crashing into a tree around 5 a.m., sources said. She was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Anyone with information about the incident on the 405 Freeway was urged to
call CHP Detective E. Kim at the Southern Division Major Crimes Unit at
(323) 644-9550, during business hours. After business hours, tipsters can
call (323) 259-3200.
