At the time Prieto said. “This is a tragedy for all involved but it was not criminal conduct; Courtney was defending herself and the investigation will reveal exactly that.

After she was released Larry Handfield, attorney for Obumseli’s family, pushed police to reopen the investigation. Fighting her self-defense explanation which painted Obumseli as a habitual aggressor, Handfield said that cops visited the couple on at least four occasions for domestic calls and noted Obumseli was never taken into custody or charged.

“We look forward to clearing her name in court.”
The arrest comes more almost four months after prosecutors, at the insistence of the victim’s family, reopened investigation of the fatal stabbing. Lawyer Larry Handfield, who represents victim Christian Obumseli’s family, said the renewed push came after authorities prematurely concluded that Clenney killed her boyfriend in self-defense.
Clenney, who has 2 million followers on Instagram, allegedly stabbed Obumseli in the chest on April 3 following a fight at their luxury apartment building in Miami’s ritzy Edgewater neighborhood.

The Instagram star was forced to stab Obumseli after he grabbed her by the throat, Prieto said.
The couple, who had been dating for less than two years, were estranged at the time, the attorney added. A Video from her arrest showed Clenney handcuffed and drenched in blood in a bra after the tragic fight.
According to the Herald, the pair had been living together for a few months at the apartment building, where staff noted multiple domestic incidents and even tried to evict them.
Although Clenney, aka Courtney Tailor, claimed that she was suicidal after killing Obumseli and spent time in a mental institution, she was seen at a bar with her father just days after Obumseli’s death.
New witnesses have come forward in the case, including a prior boyfriend of Clenney who claimed she tried to stab him during a fight. reveals attorneys for the victim’s family.
The Miami DA’s office also released a video of Clenney attacking Obumseli in an elevator. The new one-minute video shows the couple enter the elevator as Clenney bashed on the touch screen to chose a floor.
Obumseli appeared to try to calm her down but she turned to him and slapped him and pushed him multiple times in a brutal assault.
She jumped up and grabbed his hair from behind, wrenching his head backwards before punching him in the side of the head.
The victim tucked her under his arm and tried to restrain her before pressing the elevator button for their floor. But she continued to launch repeated attacks on him as he tried to block her vicious blows.
Clenney kept up her attack even as the doors opened and they spilled out into the corridor while appearing to shout at each other.

Meanwhile the documents also reveal that the couple would have furious rows when they lived in Austin, Texas, with Clenney on one occasion allegedly, flinging a huge painting off their balcony.
Prosecutors have also appear to have dismissed the influencer’s claim that she threw the murder weapon [knife], across the room from over 10ft away from the victim. The stabbing prosecutors said, happened close up and personal.
Obumseli’s family had been told initially that Clenney was cleared and would not face charges, their lawyer who claims that police rushed to judgment in the case — in part because Clenney has “blonde hair and blue eyes.”
“All the family wants is an objective, fair investigation,” Handfield said, noting that Obumseli had no prior criminal record.
“The family just wants to be treated like anyone else would be treated,” Handfield said.
