Nigerian Born Nursing student from London stabbed to death days before graduation from US university
A nursing student from London was “brutally murdered” days before she graduated from university in America, her relatives have said.

Tamilore Odunsi was stabbed to death at her apartment in Texas last Saturday, while a man was also found with stab wounds at the address, Houston Police said.
The 23-year-old’s family have been left heartbroken by “the unimaginable loss” and is now trying to raise money for her body to be repatriated to the UK, as well as trying to cover funeral and burial costs.

Tamilore Odunsi had been studying in America
Paying tribute to a “beloved sister, daughter, and friend” on a GoFundMe page Ms Odunsi’s relatives described the student as “a beautiful soul, full of light, ambition, and kindness”.

“Tragically, Tami was brutally murdered just days before she was set to graduate from university—an unimaginable loss at a moment that should have marked the beginning of a bright and promising future,” the post said.

“A devoted Christian, she was a God-fearing young woman who found strength and joy in her faith.
“She had a deep love for her church community, where she was actively involved and always eager to serve others with humility and grace.”

Ms Odunsi had moved from the UK to the US to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse, the post explained.
Tamilore Odunsi regularly posted about her life in the US on TikTok

The Londoner had over 30,000 followers and would regularly post about her experiences as a Brit living in Houston in Texas.

The 23-year-old “had a special love for children and always dreamed of making a difference in young lives through her future work in healthcare,” the GoFundMe page added.
“Outside of her studies, she brought joy to others through her love for creating content and expressing her vibrant personality.”

Her family are now trying to help her have “the peaceful and dignified farewell she deserves” by returning her to the UK so she can be buried surrounded by her relatives and loved ones.

“welfare check” at around 3.50pm on Saturday.
HPD Homicide Division Detectives H. Martinez and S. Chettry said that officers knocked on the door but did not receive an answer.

Officers then discovered blood on the rear concrete patio and entered the apartment.

Ms Odunsi was discovered on the kitchen floor with multiple stab wounds, while a man was discovered in a bedroom with at least one stab wound.

The 23-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, while the injured man was transported to a hospital in critical condition.

Houston Police said that an investigation is ongoing into the student’s death.
