Cops have revealed she had been living with a man she barely knew before her tragic death.
The aspiring nurse, who moved from London to the US in 2022 to pursue her dreams, was just weeks away from qualifying and had posted to TikTok celebrating the milestone.
Officers were called to the scene after a friend of her dad’s raised the alarm when they couldn’t get hold of her.
Blood was spotted on the rear patio, and cops broke into the two-bed flat.
Inside, Tamilore – known to her 30,000 TikTok followers as Tami Dollars – was found fatally injured.
A man, believed to be her flatmate, was discovered in a bedroom with stab wounds and rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
The two were said to be “complete strangers” and had only started living together a few weeks earlier, the Daily Mail reports.
Tamilore’s final TikTok post, uploaded just three days before she was killed, showed her smiling and relaxed in her room with the caption: “I’m readdyyyyy.”
She wrote alongside the clip: “23 years old. BSN grad in 2 weeks. Summer is 14 days away. Starting to look human again.”
Her devastated family paid tribute to the young woman on a GoFundMe page launched to help bring her body home and cover funeral costs.
As of Friday afternoon, it had raised more than £29,000.
In a note on the fundraiser, her sister Georgina wrote: “With heavy hearts, we share the devastating loss of our beloved sister, daughter, and friend, Tamilore Odunsi – known to her TikTok family as Tami Dollars or TD.”
“Tami was a beautiful soul, full of light, ambition, and kindness. She was just 23 years old.”
“A devoted Christian, she was a God-fearing young woman who found strength and joy in her faith.”
“She moved from the UK to the United States 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 work in healthcare.”
“Tragically Tami was 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 Sun has contacted Tamilore’s family and the UK Foreign Office for more information.
