Guyanese pop sensation Jourdin Pauline is struggling with the tragic loss of her sister, Maleesa Mooney, whose dead body was discovered in a recently acquired Los Angeles apartment. The 31-year-old real estate agent, associated with the prestigious Beverly Hills-based agency Nest Seekers, had moved into her new home just one month earlier.
Jourdin Pauline’s Sister’s Death
Jourdin Pauline, who was terribly saddened by the passing, posted an homage to her beloved sister on Instagram. She swore to pursue “justice” for Maleesa in her poignant posts, making sure that her memory endures despite the tragedy.
Pink balloons rose into the night sky during a vigil held in Maleesa’s honor, serving as a touching symbol of both remembrance and release. The event emphasized the value of valuing life and the relationships we have, which was in line with the significant influence Maleesa had on people who knew her.
When the color of their iPhone text messages with Maleesa Mooney shifted from blue to green—a sign of a change in WiFi and data services—her family realized something was awry.
Bailey Babb, Maleesa Mooney’s cousin, told KTLA that the family asked for a wellness check when she stopped answering her calls: ‘When a week went by, we just knew something was off.’ ‘Her messages weren’t delivering and we knew something was up because we all have a special relationship with Maleesa.’
Jourdin Pauline, Maleesa Mooney’s popstar sister who has 1.3 million followers on Instagram, said: ‘Maleesa has always been someone who is a peacemaker in our family, someone that’s always been the backbone, and making sure everyone’s getting together, loving on each other. ‘So this is a really big piece of us that’s gone now.’
She wrote in a heartfelt tribute on social media: ‘Never in a million years did I think I’d have to make this post and get justice for my one & only sister my heart is crushed.
‘I can’t believe you won’t be here with us anymore you were so loving and so kind to everyone you made sure if you ate everyone around you was too you opened your arms to people who didn’t deserve you as a friend you’re the best thing to happen to almost everyone’s lives you touched!’
She added: ‘This feels so surreal I keep waking up crying, thinking I’m in a bad dream we will get justice for you my sister I promise you won’t be gone in vain!’
The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement: ‘(LAPD) Central Bureau Homicide investigators are requesting the public’s help for any information in a murder investigation.
‘On September 12, 2023, at approximately 3:54 p.m., LAPD Central Area uniformed patrol officers responded to a radio call for a Welfare Check at the 200 block of South Figueroa Street.’ ‘Officers found a victim (later identified as Maleesa Mooney) deceased inside of an apartment unit.
‘Officers contacted Central Bureau Homicide, who responded and assumed investigative responsibility for the case. The investigation revealed that Maleesa Mooney had been murdered inside of her apartment.’
