Summary

Aziza Murphy is being stalked by her ex-boyfriend who is threatening her life. After she broke up with him, he called her over one-thousand times within 24 hours, harassed her ex-husband's family, and tried to break into her house. Armed with recorded evidence, Aziza contacted the Baltimore Police Department pleading for them to make an arrest, but they told her since he hasn't necessarily been violent with her they couldn't take any action. Aziza was forced to relocate and lost her job after her stalker showed up at her workplace and threatened her coworkers. She turned to social media and shared her horrific story to expose her stalker and shine light on how the system can fail to protect women, especially women of color, from a stalker.
