Natina Reed, most famous for being one part of female group Blaque, was
killed in a hit-and-run accident, just several days before her 33rd
birthday. The singer, who also starred in 2000 flick "Bring It On", was
struck by a car in metro Atlanta on late Friday, October 26.
Police said Reed was hit in the roadway at an intersection on U.S. 29
near Lilburn at about 10:30 P.M. "The driver of the vehicle contacted
911 to request assistance," the press release from Gwinnett (Ga.) Police
Department stated. "Natina Reed was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical
Center at 10:59 P.M. E.S.T."
The release continued, "Preliminary information indicates that Reed was
in the roadway on Lawrenceville Highway near Hamilton Road when struck."
Police said that the driver "was determined to be not at fault and
there are no charges pending."
Reed is survived by 10-year-old son, Tren Brown, whose father is rapper Kurupt. She would have turned 33 on Sunday.
Condolences have been pouring in from every corner. "We are devastated
by the loss of our group member, sister and friend Natina Reed," Blaque
members Brandi Williams and Shamari Fears-DeVoe said in a statement.
"Because of the enormous support of Blaque fans and our love for each
another, Blaque officially reunited this fall and we were in the process
of working on a new album and a reality show."
"Natina continuously embodied the pioneering spirit of Blaque and her
undeniable creativity touched the hearts of fans everywhere. Natina was a
mother, sister, accomplished songwriter, artist and friend. We ask for
your prayers at this time for Natina's family. She will forever be
missed and her global influence eternally felt. We thank God for the
experiences we shared."
