Maleesa Mooney found dead in LA apartment
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, they received a report welfare check request from Maleesa’s family on September 10. Maleesa’s family was not able to contact with the victim through texts, which had turned green, showing that she had received their message. Following the request, the LAPD responded and conducted the welfare check at her apartment, located at the 200 block of South Figueroa Street, near the 110 Freeway. However, no one answered the door, and the officers eventually left the residence without entering the building premises.
The following day, on Tuesday, the text messages that were unreceived for days turned blue, which meant they were delivered. However, Mooney did not respond to the texts, which alarmed her family. As such, the police returned to the residence and entered her apartment with the help of the building manager. Upon their arrival, they found the model dead inside her apartment under suspicious circumstances. As of now, authorities have not disclosed the cause of death, but confirmed their suspicions of a foul play.
According to her sister Jourdin, Maleesa had her friends over at her Los Angeles apartment before the family lost contact. After her friends left the apartment, she stayed behind and that was reportedly the last time someone saw the victim alive, before the police found her dead. The LAPD are currently conducting further investigations and have requested anyone to come forth with any kind of help regarding the death of Melissa Mooney. Anyone with information can call up the LAPD Central Bureau Homicide Detectives Pierce or Marcinek at 213-996-4150.
