Minnesota felon arrested for murder of LA model who was found stuffed in refrigerator

LOS ANGELES — A Minnesota felon was arrested Wednesday in the murder of a Los Angeles-based model who was stuffed inside her refrigerator, gagged and with her wrists and ankles bound together.

Maleesa Mooney, 31, sister of Guyanese pop star Jourdin Pauline, was found dead on Sept. 12, 2023, when the LAPD conducted a welfare check at her luxury apartment in downtown Los Angeles.

Magnus Daniel Humphrey was picked up by police at his Hopkins, Minn., home on an unrelated warrant and was identified as the “suspect responsible” for Mooney’s brutal slaying.

“The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office filed murder charges against Humphrey,” the LAPD said in a statement. “Humphrey waived extradition and will be transported back to Los Angeles to face charges.”
