MIAMI BEACH, Fla. \u2014 A 27-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping that began at a Miami Beach Airbnb and ended along Interstate 95, according to an arrest report obtained Thursday by Local 10 News.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Miami Beach police arrested Kihmanii McKenziee, of Miami, on Tuesday. She faces charges stemming from an incident reported on May 15.<\/p>\n

According to police, the victim walked into the Miami Beach Police Department shortly before 9 a.m. on May 15 to report that he had been robbed at gunpoint and forced to drive against his will earlier that morning.<\/p>\n

The victim told investigators he met McKenziee and another individual at Haulover Beach on the evening of May 14. He described both as \u201cAfrican American transgender females,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

After meeting, the group agreed to go to an Airbnb located on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, authorities said.<\/p>\n

According to the arrest report, the victim told detectives that he and McKenziee spent several hours together at the rental property and attempted to have intercourse before an argument broke out around 6:30 a.m. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou wasted my night,\u201d McKenziee told the victim, according to the report. \u201cI could\u2019ve been making money. If you don\u2019t give me $200 right now, I\u2019ll shoot you in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n

McKenziee allegedly pulled a gun from her purse and pointed it at the victim\u2019s head while demanding money, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Police said the victim reported that after initially refusing, he was punched multiple times and eventually surrendered $100 out of fear for his safety.<\/p>\n

Investigators said McKenziee then allegedly ordered the victim to drive her home while continuing to point the gun at him. The victim told police he complied because he feared being harmed.<\/p>\n

The victim drove onto northbound Interstate 95 during morning rush-hour traffic while McKenziee allegedly continued demanding money from him, according to the report. At one point, the victim said she struck him in the head with the gun, causing a minor laceration.<\/p>\n

Police said the ordeal ended when the victim pulled onto the shoulder of the interstate and stopped the vehicle, at which time McKenziee exited the car and fled on foot.<\/p>\n

During the investigation, the victim provided detectives with a phone number he said belonged to McKenziee. According to the report, the contact information was saved in his phone under the name \u201cKihmanii (Money) Miami.\u201d A records check linked the number to McKenziee, police said.<\/p>\n

Authorities also reviewed surveillance footage and identified McKenziee through prior law enforcement contacts, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

Detectives said McKenziee was located Tuesday, driving in the 500 block of Northwest 95th Street in Miami. Police said a gray pistol was visible inside a purse on the front passenger seat of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

After taking McKenziee into custody, detectives reported observing tattoos that matched those seen in surveillance footage connected to the case. Investigators also said she was carrying a cellphone associated with the phone number provided by the victim.<\/p>\n

McKenziee was arrested and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. She faces charges of armed kidnapping and armed robbery.<\/p>\n

A separate arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office shows McKenziee also faces charges in connection with an incident in which she was accused of going to her ex-boyfriend\u2019s home and forcing her way inside.<\/p>\n

In that case, detectives said McKenziee arrived at the victim\u2019s home in northeast Miami-Dade and pushed her way inside after the victim\u2019s new girlfriend answered the door.<\/p>\n

Deputies said the trio got into an argument before the victims agreed to call an Uber for McKenziee. <\/p>\n

At one point, McKenziee grabbed the new girlfriend\u2019s wrist, at which time her ex-boyfriend fired his gun at the ground in an attempt to get McKenziee to leave the area, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Detectives said McKenziee fled the scene before deputies arrived.<\/p>\n

In that case, she is facing charges of burglary with assault or battery and burglary of an occupied structure.<\/p>\n

As of Thursday morning, McKenziee was being held at the Metrowest Detention Center without bond.<\/p>\n
