British-Nigerian nursing student and social media personality, Tamilore Odunsi, widely known on TikTok as “Tami Dollars,” has been killed in a shocking incident at her apartment in Houston, Texas — just two weeks before she was to graduate with a nursing degree.
The 23-year-old was found dead in her kitchen with multiple stab wounds after police carried out a welfare check prompted by a report of blood on her apartment’s patio. Upon entry, officers discovered a disturbing scene, including a critically injured man in a separate room. He is believed to have been someone she had recently met.
Tamilore had relocated from London to the U.S. in 2022 to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. Just days before her tragic death, she shared a joyful TikTok post, expressing excitement about her upcoming graduation: “I’m readdyyyyy… BSN grad in 2 weeks. Summer is 14 days away.”
Her sudden death has left her family, friends, and over 30,000 followers in mourning. A GoFundMe campaign set up to repatriate her remains and support funeral arrangements has garnered more than £29,000.
Her sister Georgina wrote: “Tami was a beautiful soul—full of light, ambition, and kindness. She was tragically murdered just days before she was set to graduate. An unimaginable loss,”
Her brother Manny added a touching tribute: “Our TikTok star. My creative director. My baby sister. Flying to America without her greeting us at the airport is a pain beyond words.”
As of now, authorities have not released further information about the man found at the scene or the possible motive behind the attack.
