A US influencer, known for her astrology content and recording artist persona under the alias “Ayoka,” is at the center of a shocking incident in Los Angeles. Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, allegedly stabbed her partner to death at their apartment before embarking on a harrowing series of events that resulted in the death of her infant daughter and left her nine-year-old daughter injured.
Reports indicate that Johnson, expressing concerns about the end of the world due to an eclipse, engaged in a violent altercation with her partner, Jaelen Allen Chaney, 29, in their Woodland Hills apartment. Following the altercation, Johnson reportedly stabbed Chaney and fled the scene with her two children in a Porsche Cayenne.
Tragically, while speeding along Interstate 405, Johnson ejected her two children from the moving vehicle. The eight-month-old baby did not survive the ordeal, while the nine-year-old witnessed the stabbing but survived with moderate injuries. Johnson continued driving at high speeds until she crashed into a tree in Redondo Beach, where authorities are investigating the collision as a potential suicide attempt.
The Los Angeles Police Department has disclosed details of the incident, revealing the horrifying sequence of events that unfolded early Monday morning. Despite Johnson’s prior online posts referencing the eclipse and spiritual warfare, authorities are cautious about attributing the killings directly to these statements.
Detectives have examined Johnson’s posts but have refrained from deeming the eclipse as a triggering factor in the crimes, citing a lack of concrete evidence and an inability to interview Johnson herself. Head of the homicide unit investigating the case, Golan, emphasized the need for thorough investigation before drawing conclusions about Johnson’s motives.
As investigations continue, the tragic incident has left the community in shock, prompting reflection on the complexities of mental health and the impact of online rhetoric on real-world actions.
