Nursing Student, 23, Stabbed to Death Days Before Her Graduation: She 'Always Dreamed of Making a Difference'

• A 23-year-old woman was killed and another man was injured during an attack at a Texas apartment last month
• The Daily Mail identified the woman, who often posted on TikTok about her life as a nursing student, as Tamilore Odunsi, and the man as her roommate
• Odunsi was described as “a beautiful soul, full of light, ambition and kindness” in a GoFundMe page

Tamilore Odunsi moved overseas to Texas to get her degree, and she gained a following on TikTok for her relatable videos and study tips along the way. She was counting down the days to graduation when, just days before the big day, she was stabbed to death.

A 23-year-old female was killed in a southeast Houston apartment at around 3:50 p.m. local time on April 28, according to Houston Police. The Daily Mail later identified her as the British nursing student. A man — who The Daily Mail identified as Odunsi’s roommate — was also critically injured in the stabbing, police said. 

Officers found Odunsi and the man after arriving at the Texas apartment complex for a welfare check, police said. According to The Daily Mail, a friend of Odunsi’s father had called the police after her family was unable to reach her.

After knocking on the door of the apartment and receiving no answer, the responding officers discovered blood on the rear patio and entered the unit.

Upon entry, they found Odunsi on the kitchen floor. She had suffered multiple stab wounds. Officers then located the man, who had at least one stab wound, in the bedroom, police said. 

Odunsi was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man was hospitalized in critical condition. 

Investigation into the stabbing is ongoing, Houston Police said. No suspects have been named.

A spokesperson for the Houston Police Department was not available to respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Saturday, May 3.

Prior to her death, Odunsi had been counting down to her graduation on TikTok, sharing videos about her experience as a nursing student to her over 30,000 followers on her account @tamidollars.

She also shared study tips and more personal content, including videos about her family and experience as a British student studying in the United States.

In her final TikTok video, posted April 21, Odunsi shared her excitement about her upcoming graduation, dancing alongside text that read: “23 years old,” “BSN grad in 2 weeks,” “Vacations booked,” “Summer is 14 days away,” “Starting to look human again.”

“I’m readyyyyyyyyyyyyy 🙂‍↕️,” she captioned the video.

Odunsi’s death came “just days before she was set to graduate from university,” according to a GoFundMe fundraiser that was created to raise money to return Odunsi’s body to her family in the United Kingdom and cover funeral expenses.

Her death, the fundraiser adds, is “an unimaginable loss at a moment that should have marked the beginning of a bright and promising future.”

The page also states that Odunsi — who was described as “a beautiful soul, full of light, ambition and kindness” — moved to the U.S. from the U.K. to “pursue her dream of becoming a nurse, dedicating herself to a life of care and service.”

“Tami had a special love for children and always dreamed of making a difference in young lives through her future work in healthcare,” the fundraiser continues. “Outside of her studies, she brought joy to others through her love for creating content and expressing her vibrant personality.”
