A 23-year-old British-Nigerian, Tamilore Odunsi, has been found dead with multiple stabs inside her Houston apartment, Texas, United States.
Odunsi’s body was found in her kitchen after police forced their way into the apartment just days before she was set to graduate as a nurse.
According to a Daily Mail report, Odunsi, who moved from London to Texas in 2022 to pursue a nursing degree.
While the circumstances surrounding her death still remains unclear, another man, suspected to be a flatmate who had moved in only weeks earlier, was discovered in critical condition with knife injuries.
However, the Houston Police Department is yet to release details of the suspect.
According to report, a GoFundMe appeal has been launched by the deceased’s sister, Georgina Odunsi, to repatriate her body to the UK.
“Tami was a beautiful soul, full of light, ambition, and kindness… She was just 23 years old. A devoted Christian, she found joy in her faith and was actively involved in her church community. She dreamed of making a difference in the lives of children 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,” Georgina wrote.
The fundraiser, which has already raised over £28,000 of its £40,000 goal, aims to give Tami a “peaceful and dignified farewell” back home in the UK.
