She had been preparing for her graduation, as seen in her last TikTok video, shared just days before the incident.

How cat dispute led to Tamiore’s death
Houston Police told newsmen that Tamilore and her 40-year-old male roommate, Chester Grant, had been involved in a disagreement about the cats they both kept in the apartment.
The two were relatively new roommates, having started living together only two months before the incident. Their argument reportedly escalated, which led to the fatal stabbing.
After stabbing Tamilore, Grant attempted to end his own life by stabbing himself six times, including once on the neck.
Tamilore’s body found in her kitchen
Tamilore’s body was discovered inside her kitchen, with fatal knife wounds. It was reported that a friend of Tamilore’s father contacted the police after they had not heard from her.
Upon arriving at the apartment, the police found blood on the verandah and forced their way inside.
They discovered Tamilore’s lifeless body on the floor, while her roommate, Grant, was found with stab wounds in the bedroom. Tamilore was pronounced dead at the scene, while Grant was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Grant spent several days in the hospital and later appeared in probable cause court on Saturday morning, where he was remanded in custody.
