Maleesa Mooney murder: A Minnesota criminal is charged with the death of a LA model who was discovered inside a refrigerator after being battered

In relation to the death of model Maleesa Mooney, who lives in Los Angeles, a convicted criminal from Minnesota has been taken into custody. Mooney was discovered inside a refrigerator, her hands and ankles tied, having been abused. “Homicidal violence” was stated as the cause of death. September 12 of last year was when her body was found.

Magnus Daniel Humphrey, 41, was taken into custody by authorities at his Hopkins residence on an unrelated warrant some months after her death. The “suspect responsible” for Mooney’s murder was named as him.

“Humphrey was taken into custody at his Minnesota residence on a separate federal warrant. Humphrey is on federal probation for his drug offense, according to a statement from the LAPD.

“Humphrey was charged with murder by the District Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles. The statement said, “Humphrey declined extradition and will be sent to Los Angeles to face charges.

According to court documents, FOX 11 LA stated that the murder accusation also contains a particular claim of murder committed while torture was being administered. What kind of connection Mooney and Humphrey had is unknown.

According to court documents obtained by the New York Post, Humphrey had been found guilty of many crimes in Minnesota and Illinois, including assaults, sexual assaults, weapons charges, and false imprisonment.

What was found during the autopsy?
On September 6, Mooney was last seen by security cameras at her residence. When authorities visited her flat on September 12 in response to her mother’s request for a welfare check, they discovered her deceased.

Her body also had blunt force damage, according to an autopsy. According to a toxicology study, Mooney’s system included a mixture of ethanol and cocaethylene in addition to benzoylecgonine.

The medical examiner noted in the autopsy report that “the blunt force traumatic injuries observed at autopsy are generally not considered acutely life threatening on their own.” “However, based on the circumstances of how Ms. Mooney was found, these injuries suggest she was likely involved in violence physical altercation prior to her death.” It is “uncertain,” the study said, what part alcohol or narcotics had in her terrible demise.
