A 23-year-old British-Nigerian nursing student, Tamilore Odunsi, was found stabbed to death in her Houston, Texas apartment just days before her graduation.

Originally from London,
Odunsi had moved to the US in 2022 to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse and was weeks away from earning her degree.

The circumstances surrounding her death are still under investigation, but authorities discovered her body during a welfare check after a family friend raised concerns.

Odunsi suffered multiple stab wounds, and a man, reportedly a new roommate she barely knew, was found with stab wounds and remains in critical condition

His identity and involvement in the incident have not been confirmed.

Known for her vibrant personality on TikTok as “Tami Dollars,” Odunsi had amassed over 30,000 followers, sharing moments from her life and studies.

Her final post, just three days before her death, showed her smiling and preparing for graduation, captioned “I’m readdyyyyy.”
