(NewsNation) — Christian Obumseli’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against former Instagram influencer and OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney.

Obumseli was found fatally stabbed April 3, 2022, and his girlfriend, Clenney, was charged with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon. Her arrest came four months after Clenney stabbed Obumseli in the couple’s Miami apartment. Clenney claimed self-defense.

Miami police responded to a call of a domestic disturbance at a condo, where they said Clenney, who appears on OnlyFans under the name Courtney Tailor, stabbed Obumseli, NewsNation previously reported.

During a news conference, the attorney for Obumseli’s family said they also want to hold the apartment’s management company and Allied Universal Security accountable, WPLG, a local television station in Miami, reported.

Obumseli’s family is seeking more than $50,000 in damages.
