Miami police have began investigation after a Nigerian, Christian Obumseli was fatally stabbed at a Miami high-rise over the weekend, by his girlfriend, a model identified as Courtney Clenney.
The incident happened Sunday night at the One Paraiso luxury building at 3131 Northeast Seventh Avenue in Edgewater, Miami Florida.
Clenney, a Florida OnlyFans model has been arrested for Obumseli’s murder after she stabbed him in an apparent domestic dispute.
Courtney Clenney, 25, known on the subscription service as Courtney Tailor, stabbed Obumseli, in the shoulder amid a struggle at their Miami condominium , police said.
Obumseli, 27, was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries, reports Mail Online.
The influencer, who has not been formally charged in her boyfriend’s death, was hospitalized over mental health concerns after making suicidal threats while in police custody, police said.
Her current condition remains unknown.

Investigators are working to determine if Clenney, whose neighbor alleges was abused by Obumseli, acted in self-defense.
Miami police responded to multiple domestic disturbance calls at the couple’s apartment over the last three months.
A neighbour claiming to have a direct view of the couple’s apartment said he witnessed Obumseli strike Clenney about a week before the fatal stabbing.
‘I could not tell if it was open-handed or closed-handed, but he was swinging at her,’ the unnamed resident told WPLG.
However, a trio who identified themselves as close friends of the couple alleged the social media model was the violent one in the ‘rocky relationship’.
‘We’ve seen her hit him. I’ve never seen him hit her,’ Ashley Vaughn said.
‘From what we’ve personally experienced between the both of them, we believe that Christian wouldn’t put her in a position where she would need to stab him to protect herself.’
‘We didn’t think this is how far it would have gone,’ Tahki Banks said. ‘Even that we really lost Christian only, it feels like we lost Courtney at the same time.’
Clenney, who has more than two million Instagram followers, was hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act.
The law allows law enforcement, judges, doctors and mental health experts to commit a person to a treatment center for 72 hours if certain violent or suicidal tendencies are displayed.
It is unclear if or when she will be released from the hospital. However, new content was added to her OnlyFans page the day after she was detained.
While specific details surrounding their relationship remain in question, it does appear the couple has been together for several years.
![Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities. The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault. The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said. The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas. Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her. Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes. On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said. “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.](https://chronicle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ezgif-6-4730550ede-450x300.jpg "Odiong: US-based Nigerian Catholic priest convicted over sexual assault")
