A series of violent and deadly incidents that happened across Los Angeles County Monday morning was being investigated as being connected.
Multiple law enforcement sources told NBC Los Angeles I-Team that the discovery of two children on the 405 Freeway in Culver City is linked to a murder investigation in Woodland Hills and a deadly crash in Redondo Beach.
The first incident was reported at around 4:30 a.m. when first responders arrived on the northbound lanes of the freeway near the Howard Hughes Parkway and Sepulveda Boulevard exit to discover an infant and a child.
The baby girl, who may be between 5 and 6 months old, was declared dead at the scene while another 9-year-old girl, was taken to a hospital for moderate injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol.
