Summary

Police in Miami received a 911 call on April 3, 2022. The female caller said there had been an altercation and that a man had been stabbed to death.

This is the story of influencer Courtney Tailor and her boyfriend Toby Obumseli.

Courtney has over 2 million Instagram followers and according to social media, she seemed to be living a high-flying life. She lived with Toby in a luxury condo in Miami and things seemed to be going well for the couple.

But their reality was very different. Sources now say that the couple were in a toxic relationship and were abusive to each other. They had apparently split up in the weeks before this incident, but Toby would allegedly find his way into the apartment complex and would sleep in common areas, waiting for Courtney.

It is still unclear what happened on April 3, but Toby died after he was stabbed in the shoulder. Courtney is claiming self-defence, but Toby’s family are adamant that he was not the aggressor.

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the case of Courtney Tailor and Toby Obumseli. We also discuss another high-profile case – the murder of Phil Hartman and the consequent suicide of his wife Brynn.
