Homicide investigation underway after man found dead in Woodland Hills

A homicide investigation is underway in Woodland Hills after a man was found dead early Monday. 

Police were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 6200 block of Variel Avenue at around 7:30 a.m., according to Los Angeles Police Department Media. 

They arrived to find a man in his 30s lying face down on the floor. He was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Later Monday, investigators connected the man's killing to the death of a baby on the 405 Freeway, and possibly a fatal solo-car crash in Redondo Beach.

The Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner identified the victim of the stabbing as 29-year-old Jaelen Allen Chaney on Tuesday.
