Newly released body camera footage shows OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney covered in blood after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend and pleading with paramedics to see him.
Clenney, 27, is facing second-degree murder charges for the fatal stabbing of her cryptocurrency trader boyfriend Christian Obumseli at their Miami apartment on April 3, 2022.
The video obtained by WPLG showed the moment authorities entered the apartment and found the OnlyFans model cradling Obumseli crying 'baby, baby, baby, wake up' and 'no, no, no,' as police told her to move away.
Clenney was covered in blood from head to toe, wearing drenched sweatpants and said 'I can't let this happen, it wasn't me' as police pulled her hands behind her back and cuffed her.
While talking to police as paramedics tried to save Obumseli, she told them 'I'm terrified for him' and 'I was so scared.'
'I am covered in his blood because I was trying to save him... I need him, he was my other half,' Clenney said.

Clenney, who had used the name Courtney Tailor on such platforms as Instagram and OnlyFans, has acknowledged killing Obumseli but said she was acting in self-defense. Her attorney, Frank Prieto, said that Obumseli was regularly abusive.
Prosecutors have said it was the culmination of a 'tempestuous and combative relationship' that began in November 2020.
The model previously told investigators that Obumseli had pushed her and thrown her to the floor, which prompted her to grab a knife and throw it at Obumseli from about ten feet away.
But the medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Obumseli said his wound could not have been caused by a knife thrown from that distance.
When the stabbing happened, police reports cited officers arriving at their Miami home at around 5 p.m. on an aggravated battery call.
Clenney was pictured wearing a blood-soaked robe and sweatpants, while Obumseli was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the torso. He was pronounced dead on arrival.
Released 911 audio following the stabbing revealed Clenney told her former lover, 'baby, I'm so sorry' after allegedly plunging the knife in.
She didn't tell the operator she had stabbed him, but sobbed to him about how sorry she was.
In the background, Obumseli, 27, could be heard crying out: 'I can't feel my arm.'
Graphic case photos have revealed she stabbed her much larger boyfriend inches above a tattoo of her name in cursive on the left side of his chest.
At the time, Obumseli's family said it showed she intended to kill him, then regretted it once she saw what she had done.

Clenney is being sued for negligence by Obumseli's family. Her lawyers claim she attacked her boyfriend after a 'history of abuse' and had filed a restraining order against him just days before the attack.
Clenney was arrested in Hawaii in August 2022 and is awaiting trial. She pleaded not guilty to a new charge of interception of wire communications related to her boyfriend's killing in February.
The new charge stems from the bombshell revelation that the model's parents Kim and Deborah Clenney were arrested in connection to Obumseli's murder.
Kim Clenney is accused of taking the crypto-trader's computer from the murder scene in Miami after it was missed by investigators. He then allegedly accessed it with a password supplied by his daughter.
According to the arrest warrants, detectives recovered text messages where the parents discussed trying to gain access to the computer.
He handed it to her defense lawyers after finding nothing but a crypto exchange, TMZ reported, but was arrested along with his wife for evidence tampering.
A previously unseen interview with TMZ, filmed before the parents' arrest, showed they had a hunch that prosecutors were after them too.
Clenney was previously arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas, and police were called to the couple's home in Austin, Texas, on several occasions

Deborah Clenney told the interviewer: 'Every word we say to each other is being recorded. The prosecution plays dirty.'
'They tried to act like I was manipulating her by texting her to say even though it was self-defense.
'So I think they would use anything against her that they possibly could.'
Kim Clenney added: 'They will do and say everything to win this case.'
Clenney was previously arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas, and police were called to the couple's home in Austin, Texas, on several occasions.
The pair moved to Miami at the beginning of 2022 and staff and residents at the One Paraiso building where they lived reported multiple domestic disturbance complaints about the couple, and had even moved to evict them.
