"We have no cause to believe that this was a case of self-defense. "I'm completely shocked, especially since we were cooperating with the investigation and offered to voluntarily surrender her if she were charged," Prieto said. The charge stems from the April 3 death of her boyfriend, Christian Toby Obumseli, in Florida, CBS Miami reports.

Larry Handfield, a lawyer representing Obumseli’s family, said that the announcement of a charge against Clenney were a relief to the family. Rundle showed an elevator video from February 2022, a month after the couple moved into their apartment, in which Clenney appears to initiate a physical assault on Obumseli during an argument. "And it was at that point that Clenney went to a kitchen area and got the knife as Christian sort of approached her. Rundle said that the chief medical examiner disagreed that a throw from that distance could have caused Obumseli's fatal stab wound. He does not come from that." Rundle said Clenney's attorney indicated she will not contest her extradition to Florida. Rundle described the couple's relationship, which began in November 2020, as "extremely tempestuous and combative." States often have domestic violence hotlines as well. “Courtney had no choice but to meet force with force.” Investigators believe Obumseli was stabbed between 4:33 p.m. and 4:57 p.m. on April 3, Rundle said. "Defendant Clenney is also heard saying, 'I'm so sorry.'" We repeatedly say that he was saying and he was losing feeling and his arm," Rundle said.

On Sunday, April 3, according to the arrest warrant, the day “began peacefully” with the couple playing with their dogs in the apartment. In February 2022, two months before the killing, elevator surveillance video showed Obumseli and Clenney getting into an elevator, and her pounding the touch screen in anger, then slapping and hitting him, and grabbing his hair before he tries to block her strikes. According to an arrest warrant, they broke up several times while in Miami, including during the last week of March, when Clenney booted him from the apartment. I really don’t know if this was justified at all,” he told police detectives when asked to explain the killing. “The defendant is also heard saying, ‘I’m so sorry baby.’ ” Her defense attorney, Frank Prieto, has long said it was Clenney who was the victim of domestic abuse and that she acted in self-defense. In January 2021, police at the Cosmopolitan casino in Las Vegas responded to the couple’s room after the two got into a loud argument. The two lived in Austin, Texas, where police and neighbors reported disturbances. Their arguments were loud and very public — so many neighbors complained about the noise that the building was moving to evict them from the unit. She was arrested on a charge of domestic battery. The disposition of the case remains unclear. Prosecutors even played a video of Clenney repeatedly attacking her boyfriend in an elevator two months before the killing.

“I can summarize it as her always having these manic episodes, dragging him into it, and him trying to be like, ‘calm down, calm down,’” said a friend who knew the couple when they lived in Austin. “His role in their relationship was basically to take it from her and to calm her down,” a fellow influencer who knew the couple added. “We believe it is white privilege, because any other person would’ve been arrested,” he said in April. Handfield claimed to Rolling Stone that the Miami Police had bungled the investigation and had only looked into the case after he reached out directly to the State’s Attorney about it. Obumseli’s family lawyer, Larry Handfield, told Rolling Stone in the weeks following the stabbing that he and Obumseli’s family believed Clenney was receiving special treatment as a white woman who had killed a Black man. At one point, he appears to briefly put her in a headlock, and later pushes her face with his hand. Projecting an illustration of a kitchen knife on a screen, Fernandez Rundle explained that on April 3, Clenney stabbed Obumseli with a six-inch blade that penetrated three inches into his chest and pierced his subclavian artery, killing him. He puts his arms out and turns his back to her to press buttons on the elevator panel.

“This is such a relief for the family. Obumseli could be heard on the 911 call “repeatedly saying that he was dying,” Fernandez-Rundle said. Larry Handfield, a lawyer for the Obumseli family, had initially argued that investigators prematurely deemed the stabbing a case of self-defense and pushed for a more thorough probe. But Fernandez-Rundle said the evidence did not support that claim — and that she had stabbed him in the chest at close range. Fernandez-Rundle said the pair had a “tempestuous” relationship that became so disruptive to residents in the apartment building that managers were pursuing their eviction. Fernandez-Rundle said the couple’s constant warring had led to a brief separation in March while Clenney’s mother came to stay with her in the apartment.
