Woman killed husband in Woodland Hills, then left 2 daughters on 405 WLA, then died in Redondo Beach

This is so sad. I wonder if she caught him abusing the girls. The 9yo was not his child. The 6 month old little girl was his child and she perished on the freeway that morning.

ABC 4/9/24: WOODLAND HILLS, California -- The deaths of a baby and her parents 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 husband to death, Eyewitness News has learned.

The man found dead in Woodland Hills was identified Tuesday by the county medical examiner's office as 29-year-old Jaelen Chaney. The California Highway Patrol identified Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson as the suspect in Chaney's killing.

Neighbors said they heard a loud argument coming from a unit in the building in the middle of the night before the husband 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."

Authorities believe the woman drove away from the scene of the fatal stabbing with the couple's two daughters, a 6-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 in a dark colored Porsche Cayenne, traveling northbound on the 405 Freeway in the Westchester area, when "the minors fell or were thrown out of the moving vehicle," the CHP said in a statement.
