Los Angeles, California – A tragic incident unfolded in the busy streets of Los Angeles when an infant girl and her 9-year-old sister were thrown from a moving SUV on a freeway. Authorities suspect that the girls’ mother was responsible for the heinous act before tragically taking her own life after fatally stabbing her partner in the Woodland Hills neighborhood.
The 8-month-old baby sadly did not survive the ordeal, while her older sister sustained moderate injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. The mother, identified as Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, allegedly committed the stabbing of her partner, Jaelen Allen Chaney, leading to a tumultuous series of events that shocked the community.
Following a violent altercation between Johnson and Chaney in the early morning hours, evidence of the crime was found at the scene, leaving detectives to piece together the tragic events that transpired. Johnson then fled the scene in a Porsche Cayenne and drove along Interstate 405 in Culver City, where her daughters were ejected from the moving vehicle.
The SUV’s speed reached over 100 miles per hour before the vehicle crashed into a tree in Redondo Beach, indicating a deliberate act on Johnson’s part. The LAPD is treating the crash as an apparent suicide, adding further tragedy to the already devastating situation.
As authorities continue to investigate the sequence of events leading up to the deaths of Johnson, Chaney, and the injuries sustained by the two sisters, the community is left grappling with the profound loss and the heartbreaking circumstances that led to such a tragic outcome. The names of the young girls have not been disclosed as the investigation is ongoing, shedding light on a complex and distressing series of events that has left a community in mourning.
