## Summary

Los Angeles police have arrested Delorean Bijon Brandon and Kaylee Nicole Markowski in connection with the murder of Christina Downer, sister of “Saturday Night Live” writer Jimmy Fowlie. The arrests follow an investigation that began after Downer was reported missing in December 2025 and was later reclassified as a homicide.

Police said Downer’s boyfriend told them she had moved out months earlier, leaving her belongings, car and dog. Detectives took over after her phone was found washed ashore at Santa Monica Beach and identified Brandon and Markowski as suspects in her murder, the disposal of her body and concealing their involvement. The case is ongoing and will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for consideration.
