Miami-Dade man charged after stalking woman, breaking into home
A 36-year-old man is accused of stalking a woman for days, breaking into her Miami-Dade home and watching her sleep before deputies tied him to another nearby victim.
Deputies said a 36-year-old man stalked a woman for days, broke into her home and watched her sleep, then turned up in a second complaint involving another victim in the same neighborhood. The sequence pushed the case from harassment into a more serious threat pattern, ending with multiple felony charges and raising the question of how far the behavior had already escalated before law enforcement stepped in.
WPLG Local 10 identified the suspect as Ejoifor Emmanuel Onyechi. The same outlet previously reported that Onyechi had been accused of trespassing and stalking women in Miami, and later said he was facing multiple charges after a violent confrontation earlier this week with a Miami police officer inside a downtown Miami high-rise in Brickell.
For people in Miami-Dade who feel unsafe because of stalking, the county court system and victim services offices list protection options that can be used quickly. An injunction for protection can be obtained at the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center, 175 NW 1st Avenue, mezzanine floor, Miami, FL 33136. The Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts also maintains restraining order information, and the Eleventh Judicial Circuit’s Domestic Violence Intake Unit helps complete the required documents for injunctions for protection.
Legal help is also available through Dade Legal Aid, which assists victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and human sex trafficking from offices across Miami-Dade County. The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office also offers a request for protection injunction service for people seeking court protection.
The arrest connects two separate flashpoints in the county, one involving alleged stalking and a home break-in and another tied to a confrontation inside a downtown Miami high-rise. In both cases, the allegations put Onyechi in contact with Miami police and Miami-Dade deputies, giving prosecutors a record that now spans Brickell, downtown Miami and the neighborhood where deputies said another victim was targeted.
