Man Detained in Los Angeles After Supposedly Torturing and Killing Model and Putting Body in Fridge
Maleesa Mooney’s lifeless body was discovered on September 12, 2023, in her Downtown Los Angeles apartment on the 200 block of Figueroa Street. The autopsy report revealed a disturbing scene, with Mooney having suffered multiple blunt force trauma injuries, contusions, and abrasions. These findings strongly suggest a violent physical altercation leading up to her tragic death.
Mooney, who was last seen on surveillance video at her apartment complex on September 9, 2023, prompted her mother to request a welfare check on September 12. When officers entered the apartment using the property manager’s key, they found Mooney’s body wedged inside the refrigerator, surrounded by pooled blood.
Humphrey, who was on probation for narcotics-related offenses at the time of his arrest, will now be brought back to Los Angeles to face the serious charges against him. The arrest sheds light on the ongoing investigation into the circumstances leading up to Mooney’s death and the potential motive behind the brutal crime.
The tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability that individuals, even in seemingly secure environments, may face. As the legal proceedings unfold, the community awaits further details and justice for Maleesa Mooney.
