Singer and “Bring It On” actress Natina Reed died on Friday in Georgia. The 32-year-old was crossing the street when she was struck by a car.
According to a statement from the Gwinnett Police Department, the driver "was determined to be not at fault and there are no charges pending.”
Reed, who would have turned 33 on Sunday, was a member of the Atlanta group Blaque, known for hits like “808” and “Bring It All to Me.” Fellow members, Brandi Williams and Shamari Fears-DeVoe shared their grief in a statement.
“We are devastated by the loss of our group member, sister and friend… 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.”
Gabrielle Union tweeted about the loss of her “Bring It On” co-star, writing, “#RIP #SAD #BringItOn."
Reed was reportedly reuniting with Blaque for a new reality show and album and working on a solo rap record. She is survived by son Tren Brown, 10, with rapper Kurupt.
