The lawyer of a woman who fatally stabbed her boyfriend earlier this month at their Miami condo says she acted in self-defense.
On Monday, Frank Prieto said his client Courtney Clenney was a victim of domestic violence and stabbed Christian Toby Obumseli, her boyfriend of two years, in self-defense, CBS Miami and NBC News reported.
According to the Miami Police Department, officers responded to a domestic violence incident involving a stabbing on April 3 just before 5 p.m. Obumseli died. He was being transported to a local hospital.
The department said a preliminary investigation determined that the woman and Obumseli had been involved in a physical altercation.
The Miami Herald and NBC News reported that Clenney was hospitalized after the incident. She was released into her parents' care.
Prieto told the newspaper that "this is a tragedy for all involved, but it was not criminal conduct."
During a press conference, Obumseli's family said they don't believe that this was a case of self-defense, CBS Miami and NBC News reported.
According to the news outlets, Clenney is a popular OnlyFans model and Instagram influencer.
No charges have been filed.
