“Our TikTok star. My creative director, and most importantly, my baby sister.”

Tamilore was brutally murdered in her Texas flat.
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.
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.
The Houston Police Department confirmed in a statement: “Officers were called to a residence at the above apartment complex for a welfare check.”
“They knocked on the door but did not receive an answer. Officers then discovered blood on the rear concrete patio and entered the apartment.”
“The female victim was discovered on the kitchen floor with multiple stab wounds. A male was discovered in a bedroom with at least one stab wound.”
“Responding Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the female deceased at the scene. The male was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.”
“The investigation is ongoing.”
The Sun has contacted Tamilore's family and the UK Foreign Office for more information.
