of the interstate and stopped the vehicle, at which time McKenziee exited the car and fled on foot.

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  Kihmanii (Money) Miami.  A records check linked the number to McKenziee, police said.

Authorities also reviewed surveillance footage and identified McKenziee through prior law enforcement contacts, according to investigators.

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.

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.

McKenziee was arrested and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. She faces charges of armed kidnapping and armed robbery.

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

In that case, detectives said McKenziee arrived at the victim's home in northeast Miami-Dade and pushed her way inside after the victim's new girlfriend answered the door.

Deputies said the trio got into an argument before the victims agreed to call an Uber for McKenziee.

At one point, McKenziee grabbed the new girlfriend's 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.

Detectives said McKenziee fled the scene before deputies arrived.

In that case, she is facing charges of burglary with assault or battery and burglary of an occupied structure.

As of Thursday morning, McKenziee was being held at the Metrowest Detention Center without bond.
