Astrology Influencer's Tragic Murder-Suicide Amid Eclipse Fears

Social media posts by Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, who fatally stabbed her boyfriend before pushing her children onto a freeway and crashing, revealed her obsession with the apocalypse and the coming solar eclipse. Johnson, who described herself as an astrologer and R&B recording artist, posted about the apocalypse and the eclipse in the days leading up to the tragic events. Investigators are examining her online activity, including reposted antisemitic images, but have not confirmed a connection to the murders. The sequence of events began with an argument between Johnson and her boyfriend, resulting in his stabbing. She then forced her children onto the freeway, resulting in the death of an infant and injuries to a nine-year-old, before crashing into a tree in Redondo Beach in what police are investigating as a suicide.
