This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

He texted her "Is love going to kill me?" and was dead 33 days later. What the medical examiner found next changes everything.
Christian Obumseli was a 27-year-old Nigerian-American engineer and former college linebacker who met OnlyFans creator Courtney Clenney in Tulum in 2020. Over the next two years, their relationship became increasingly violent — documented in police body cam footage, elevator surveillance video, and Christian's own text messages describing being stabbed in the leg, cut on the face, and called racial slurs. On April 3, 2022, he died from a stab wound to the chest in their Miami penthouse.
In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk through who Christian was before Courtney, every documented incident of violence, and the night he died — including the Miami-Dade medical examiner's findings that directly contradict Courtney's defense.
Part 2 (the arrest, the four-year delay, and prosecutorial misconduct) is available now for patrons, or drops Thursday for everyone.
⚠️ Content warning: domestic violence, racial slurs, graphic descriptions of injury and death.

Two weeks before the crash, Dom Russo was secretly recording her. Days before he died, he used a friend's phone to do it — which tells you everything about where things were.
In Part 2, Tyrella and Nikita pick up where the evidence gets undeniable: the secret recordings Dom made of Mackenzie in the days before his death, the highway incident two weeks prior where a witness heard her say "I will crash this car right now," the arrest, and the trial that ended with a judge calling Mackenzie Shirilla "literal hell on wheels."
They also cover what the Netflix documentary left out — the full picture of a relationship Dom was actively trying to leave, a plea offer the families rejected, a defense with no medical documentation to back it up, and a sentencing hearing that left Davion Flanagan's family stunned by the concurrent sentences.
Dom Russo was 20. Davion Flanagan was 19. This is Part 2. Part 1 is live now.

Two weeks before the crash, a witness heard Mackenzie Shirilla say "I will crash this car right now." On July 31, 2022, she did — at over 100 mph, into a brick building, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan. Netflix released a documentary called The Crash. It covered the case. It did not cover everything. In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk through the victims' backgrounds, the four-year relationship between Mackenzie and Dom, and the evidence of coercive control, prior threats, and dangerous driving that the documentary largely glossed over.You'll hear about the secret recordings Dom made before his death, the highway incident two weeks before the crash, and what prosecutors called 'prior calculation.' It's a lot — in the best and worst way.

Part 2 is already live on Patreon— get it NOW at www.patreon.com/killerqueenspod!
It will be live on this feed in 2 days.

She posted it to TikTok before she called the police — and then 30 million people saw it. That decision may send her to trial on two Class E felonies.
In Part 2 of the viral DoorDash case, Tyrella and Nikita break down the charges against driver Livvy Henderson: unlawful surveillance and dissemination of unlawful surveillance images. They walk through exactly why the prosecution's job may be easy, what the Ring camera footage could reveal, and why the DA skipped the fast-track plea route and went straight to a grand jury.
But this episode goes deeper than the case. The hosts get into the documented failure of police to take sexual assault reports seriously, the false reporting statistics that actually show 95% of reports are legitimate, what it means to truly "believe women," and the very real dangers facing gig workers every day.
Haven't heard Part 1? Start there — this episode picks up directly from the charges.
⚠️ Content Warning: Sexual assault, voyeurism, non-consensual filming, and image-based abuse.
