I'm thinking, alternator.
The alternator starts failing, and the battery gradually discharges. Then the alternator goes out entirely and the battery light comes on, and you lose all your functions one by one by one on the dash, going to black.
But make sure the serpentine belt is intact, that the tensioner is working fully, and that no debris or something came up and severed the leads going to the alternator.
The difference in your failure scenario and mine in February was, I sensed the battery wasn't working right and replaced it. Then the alternator quit altogether and it took a bit longer for all the systems to go down because the battery was so fresh and new.
