The dead man’s father, Chio Obumseli, filed the lawsuit in Miami-Dade County court, also listing the owners of the high-rise building where the stabbing occurred, two property management companies, and the building’s security company as named defendants.
“At all material times, Courtney Clenney owed a duty to decedent Christian Obumseli to maintain the subject premises in a safe and danger-free manner,” the lawsuit states. “Courtney Clenney breached her duty to exercise reasonable care for the safety and protection of Christian Obumseli, deceased, and acted in a careless and negligent manner.”

The filing is light on facts and largely uses boilerplate legalese from negligence law that alleges a series of 12 distinct security failures and additional such failures attributed to negligence that are “not yet discovered.” Each of those alleged failures – and theorized failures – is attributed to each defendant.
“Courtney Clenney created and/or allowed to be created said dangerous conditions. Further, Courtney Clenney failed to warn subject building’s residents, invitees, and the public, including Christian Obumseli, deceased, of the existence of said dangerous conditions,” the lawsuit continues. “The negligence of Courtney Clenney proximately caused injury to Christian Obumseli, deceased, and directly led to his criminal attack.”

More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the replete negligent security failures amounted to an “inadequate and/or nonexistent” visible or physical “deterrence to prevent” Obumseli’s assault.
“Criminals could carry out physical assaults within subject building without fear of being caught, discovered, or prosecuted,” the lawsuit claims. “An atmosphere was created at subject building that facilitated the commission of crimes against persons.”
Obumseli’s father is suing on behalf of his son’s estate and seeking damages over $50,000, including pain and suffering, past and future loss of support and services, medical care and funeral arrangement expenses, the deceased’s prospective net accumulations, and the deceased’s inheritable estate.
