Minnesota man arrested in slaying of model in DTLA
A Minnesota man has been arrested in the killing of a woman in downtown Los Angeles last year.
Maleesa Mooney, 31, was found dead in an apartment in the 200 block of Figueroa Street on Sept. 12, 2023, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release.
The model’s body was found in her refrigerator.
Now, almost half a year later, the LAPD believes they’ve found her killer: 41-year-old Magnus Daniel Humphrey of Hopkins, Minnesota, who was arrested on an “unrelated federal warrant” and is on federal probation for drug offenses, police said.
