911 Call Reveals Model’s Panic as Boyfriend Dies of Knife Wound
Minutes after Courtney Clenney allegedly murdered Christian Obumseli inside their 22nd floor condo in April, the OnlyFans influencer frantically called Miami police for help.
“My boyfriend is dying of a stab wound!” Clenney is heard saying in the 911 call, a copy of which was obtained by The Daily Beast. She is also heard apologizing as dogs bark in the background.
“Please God, please. Come save my boyfriend,” she adds.
In the background, Obumseli can be heard screaming at one point: “I’m going to die. I can’t feel my arms. I can’t feel my arms.”
The April 3 call came after prosecutors say the 26-year-old Instagram influencer stabbed Obumseli, 27, in the heart at the One Paraiso luxury complex. Clenney was charged in August with second-degree murder after she allegedly told police that she had thrown a knife at Obumseli when he was 10 feet away during an argument.
Clenney’s defense attorney, Frank Prieto, previously told The Daily Beast that his client acted out of self-defense. But Larry Handfield, a lawyer representing the Obsumseli family, told the Miami Herald, which first published the audio, that the 911 call shows Clenney’s “state of mind.”
“She’s saying she’s sorry because she’s realizing what she’s done,” Handfield told the outlet. “She’s not saying, ‘I was defending myself.’”
According to an arrest warrant obtained by The Daily Beast, an autopsy report later revealed that Obumseli suffered a “stab wound to the chest… and that the knife punctured the subclavian artery.”
The grisly incident came after months of what prosecutors described as a volatile relationship between Clenney and Obumseli. Among the domestic violence incidents involving them, prosecutors said, was a February 2022 fight in their apartment building’s elevator, where Clenney is seen striking Obumseli while he tries to ward her off.
Two days before the murder, Clenney told police that Obumseli was “stalking” her after she broke up with him. In body-camera footage obtained by The Daily Beast, Clenney is seen telling officers that she wanted a restraining order against him—while also suggesting allegations of physical violence against her were “not really a concern.”
