An American astrology influencer stabbed her boyfriend to death and threw her two kids out of a speeding car onto a busy Los Angeles highway – all driven by the recent total solar eclipse witnessed across the US.
Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson fatally stabbed her boyfriend 29-year-old Jaelen Chaney, inside the couple’s Woodland Hills home in California, as her 9-year-old daughter witnessed.
According to the Los Angeles Times, she stabbed Chaney in the chest while he was sitting on the couch and then reportedly tried to drag his bloody body out of the apartment, but at some point, gave up and dragged the body back into the apartment kitchen.
She then fled with her two daughters, aged 9 years and 8 months, in a dark-colored Porsche Cayenne
While Johnson and the two children were in the SUV on the 405 Freeway, Johnson slowed the moving vehicle, opened the passenger door and then told her 9-year old daughter to get out of the car.
When the daughter didn’t do as she was told, Johnson then forcibly pushed her out of the vehicle, in the middle of the freeway, while the 9-year-old was holding the 8-month-old baby.
The infant fell to the pavement and was fatally struck by a passing vehicle, authorities said.
After Johnson threw the children out of the car, sources said she headed south to Redondo Beach, California, where she reached speeds of more than 100 mph. The SUV later slammed into a tree on the corner of an intersection and Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene.
US media has since established that Johnson was a popular astrology influencer with more than 100,000 followers on X. She went by @MysticxLipstick and described herself as a “divine healer” and astrologer.
In a post days before the murder, she called Monday’s eclipse “the epitome of spiritual warfare” and said, “If you ever needed to pick a side, the time to do right in your life is now.”
“This eclipse is the epitome of spiritual warfare. Get your protection on and your heart in the right place!” she tweeted.
“The world is very obviously changing right now and if you ever needed to pick a side, the time to do right in your life is now. Stay strong you got this.”
Several hours before the killings, she also tweeted: “WAKE UP WAKE UP THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE! Everyone who has ears listen. Your time to chose what you believe is now. If you believe a new world order is possible for the people RT now!”
“There is power in choice. Repost to make the choice for the collective!”
Still, on her X account, Johnson likened the New Jersey earthquake to white supremacy and accused the government and media of trying to cover up what she feared was the impending apocalypse.
According to investigators, neither the self-described “divine healer” nor her boyfriend had any documented history of domestic violence or calls to police, leading them to suspect that the sprawling bloodbath was influenced by Johnson’s crazed end-of-world paranoia.
