Westchester, Los Angeles – Following a series of tragic events on Monday, investigators are working to uncover any connections between three separate incidents that resulted in the deaths of a baby and two adults.

Initially, a baby girl, estimated to be around 6 months old, was tragically found dead on the 405 Freeway in Westchester around 4:30 a.m. The discovery of a second girl, aged between 7-9 years, who sustained injuries and was hospitalized, further intensified the distressing situation.
Shortly after, a man’s body was found at an apartment complex in Woodland Hills on Variel Avenue at 7:30 a.m. Authorities also responded to a fatal crash in Redondo Beach around 5 a.m., involving a woman’s death. The interconnectedness of these incidents is currently under scrutiny by law enforcement.
The nature of the connections between the deaths in the Westchester, Woodland Hills, and Redondo Beach incidents has not yet been disclosed. Valley Bureau Homicide detectives are actively collaborating with the California Highway Patrol to examine possible links between the 405 Freeway incident and the Woodland Hills homicide.
Witnesses have reported a black sedan in the vicinity of the 405 Freeway incident, prompting investigators to urge potential eyewitnesses to come forward with any pertinent information. The California Highway Patrol is seeking cooperation from the public and asking individuals with dash cameras to review footage that might assist in shedding light on the tragic events.
In Woodland Hills, the discovery of a man’s body at the Montecito apartments on Variel Avenue raised suspicions and prompted a swift response from law enforcement.
