British-Nigerian Nursing Student Stabbed To Death In US Days Before Graduation
A British-Nigerian nursing student was found brutally stabbed to death in her Houston apartment—just two weeks before achieving her lifelong dream of graduating as a nurse.
Tamilore Odunsi, 23, affectionately known as “Tami Dollars” to her 30,000 TikTok fans, was discovered lifeless on her kitchen floor with multiple stab wounds after Texas police forced entry during a welfare check.
According to the Sun, blood on the patio led officers to a horrific crime scene inside the two-bedroom flat where Tami lived with a man she had only recently met.
That man—reportedly a complete stranger until a few weeks ago—was found in a separate room, also with stab wounds, and rushed to hospital in critical condition.
Tami had moved from London to the U.S. in 2022 to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse and had been joyfully counting down to graduation.
Just three days before her death, she posted a hopeful video to TikTok with the caption: “I’m readdyyyyy… BSN grad in 2 weeks. Summer is 14 days away.”
Her senseless killing has left family, friends, and followers devastated. A GoFundMe campaign launched to repatriate her body to the UK and cover funeral costs has raised over £29,000 so far.
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 on Instagram: “Our TikTok star. My creative director. My baby sister. Flying to America without her greeting us at the airport is a pain beyond words.”
Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack.
