The deaths of two models whose bodies were found in their respective downtown apartments within days are unrelated, and only one is being investigated as a homicide, police said Monday.
Maleesa Mooney, sister of Guyanese pop star Jourdin Pauline, was found dead on Sept. 12, shortly before 4 p.m., by officers responding to a call for a welfare check. She also worked as a realtor.
A second model, Nichole Coats, 32, was found dead two days earlier inside her apartment about a mile from where Mooney, 31, was killed. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating Mooney’s death as a homicide but is waiting for a county medical examiner’s report on Coats’ to determine whether to investigate her death, said LAPD spokesperson Tony Im.
