The stabbing death of former NFL defensive lineman Kevin Johnson could be linked to a series of homicides, the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department<\/a> (LASD) said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The LASD’s Homicide Bureau<\/a> is investigating a series of homicide cases<\/a> that took place between October 2025 and January 2026 around the same area, the 1300 block of East 120th Street. During that timeframe, four homicides occurred in the area, all of which remain under active investigation by the homicide bureau, according to LASD. One of the cases is the stabbing death of Johnson, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles<\/u><\/a> and Oakland Raiders in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Johnson’s body was discovered at a homeless encampment on Jan. 21. His cause of death was listed as blunt head trauma and stab wounds, records showed.<\/p>\n

“All four victims were unhoused individuals who were living in encampments in the vicinity of the 1300 block of East 120th Street,” LASD said.<\/p>\n

The LASD added that investigators from its Homicide Bureau were working with personnel from the Century Sheriff\u2019s Station and the Operation Safe Streets Bureau in their investigations of the homicides.<\/p>\n

The series of killings in the Compton Creek area started on Oct. 5, 2025, when a woman, identified as 52-year-old Michelle Steele, was shot in the head, according to KABC-TV<\/a>, which cited sources close to the investigation. She later died in the hospital on Nov. 12, 2025. Then, on Dec. 4, 2025, 52-year-old Octavio Arias was killed in the same area, KABC-TV reported, adding that Arias died of head and neck trauma. Johnson was the third victim.<\/p>\n

The LASD said a found the fourth victim was found on Jan. 26. KABC-TV reported identified that victim as Mauro Alfaro, adding that sources said the cause of death was blunt force trauma.<\/p>\n

The investigations into the homicides remain ongoing, and LASD has encouraged anyone with information on the incidents to contact its Homicide Bureau.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
