Police in Los Angeles are investigating the deaths of two aspiring models who were found in Los Angeles apartment complexes days apart -- one death determined by police to be a murder.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told ABC News on Sunday afternoon that the death of Maleesa Mooney, 31, on Sept. 12 is being investigated as a homicide, while the death of Nichole ?Nikki? Coats, 32, on Sept. 10 is ?an undetermined death at this point? and they will determine whether it could be investigated as a homicide after the L.A. County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner completes its report and determines her cause of death.

Asked if the cases could be linked, a spokesperson for the LAPD told ABC News on Monday, "it's too soon" to make a determination and they are still awaiting the coroner's reports.

It seems a little too coincidental to me. Both are Black aspiring models around the same age in Los Angeles and found days apart. Despite what people think, L.A. is not that huge when you run in the same circles. Every musician I knew in L.A. were connected somehow so I guarantee that these two women at least met at some point if not knew each other.
