Quick Glance: Mother Throws 2 Kids on L.A. Freeway: One Child Killed
- A woman who fatally stabbed her partner in their Los Angeles apartment and then threw her two children from a moving SUV onto the freeway, resulting in the death of her infant daughter, had a background in astrology. In a prior online post, she referred to the upcoming solar eclipse as 'the epitome of spiritual warfare'.
- Los Angeles police suspect that Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, utilized the persona 'Ayoka' as an astrology influencer and musician on X in the days leading up to the incidents.
- The altercation between Johnson and her partner, 29-year-old Jaelen Allen Chaney, occurred around 3:40 a.m. in their Woodland Hills apartment. Following the stabbing of Chaney, Johnson fled with her children, an 8-month-old girl, and her 9-year-old sister, in a Porsche Cayenne.
- Subsequently, Johnson drove on Interstate 405 in Culver City and discarded her daughters from the moving SUV around 4:30 a.m. The infant was declared deceased on the road, while the older daughter, who witnessed the attack, sustained moderate injuries.
