Authorities are investigating after two models were found dead in their downtown Los Angeles apartments less than a mile away from each other, just two days apart.

On Sept. 12, authorities found 31-year-old Maleesa Mooney dead in her apartment located in the 200 block of South Figueroa Street.
Just two days before on Sept. 10, the body of 32-year-old Nichole Coats was found inside her apartment in the 700 block of Grand Avenue. Officers had responded to Coats' home to perform a welfare check around 10 a.m., but no one responded. Around two hours later, someone called to report a dead body at the home. Coats' cause of death remains under investigation.
Authorities have not yet indicated if the two cases are connected.
