Magnus Daniel Humphrey, 41, of Hopkins, Minnesota, United States is a convicted felon. He is accused of murdering Guyanese-American model and real estate agent Maleesa Mooney.
On September 12, 2023, Mooney was found dead inside her apartment at Skye at Bunker Hill Apartments in Los Angeles, California, USA. She was 31.
Mooney was beaten, tied up, gagged and wedged inside a refrigerator. On October 5, 2023, the medical examiner concluded that she died of homicidal violence.
Whether or not Humphrey and Mooney knew each other is unclear. He was identified as the suspect responsible for her murder.
On December 6, 2023, Humphrey was charged with murder and torture. Included in the murder charge is a special allegation of murder during the commission of torture.
Investigators have yet to release details about what led them to Humphrey. While on probation for federal narcotics offenses, he was arrested on February 21, 2024 at his residence in Hopkins on a federal warrant not related to Mooney’s murder.
Humphrey has waived extradition proceedings. He agreed to be brought back to Los Angeles.
