A British Nigerian woman moved to the United States to train as a nurse and was stabbed just a few days before she graduated.
Tamilore Odunsi, 23, was found at a student apartment in Houston, Texas after a father called police and said they could not reach her.
When police arrived, they found blood on the back terrace and forced them into it, finding the Tamilo injured in the kitchen. A roommate was also found stabbed in the bedroom and taken to the hospital in a critical state.
Tamilore shared the two-bed apartment with an unknown person, but was said to be a “complete stranger” and he moved only a few weeks ago.
Her friend became famous on social media on Tamidollars in Tiktok, where she has 30,000 followers.
Her last post on April 21st is on her to wear! Ed (D!
Together with the edit she wrote: ’23. BSN graduated for 2 weeks. There are 14 days in summer. Begin to re-look at humanity. ”
Relatives opened a Go Fund Me page for Tamilore, which originally set out from London and moved to Houston in 2022 to cover repatriation and funeral costs.
On this page (which has reached £28,000 of the £40,000 target), sisters Georgina Odunsi pay tribute to him.
She said: “In the heavy heart we share the devastating loss of our beloved sister, daughter and friend, Tamilore Odunsi – her tiktok family is known to be tami dollars or td.
