Natina Reed, one-third of the early 2000s R&B trio Blaque, was struck by a vehicle and killed Friday night in Georgia, Gwinnett County police said Saturday.
Reed, 32, was walking in
traffic on a major roadway just north of Lilburn "for some unknown
reason" when she was struck around 10:30 p.m., according to Gwinnett
police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long.
The driver of the
vehicle, who was not charged in the incident, called 911 while the
passenger administered CPR. Reed was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical
Center.
Blaque, best known for
the 2000 hit "Bring it All to Me," was discovered by TLC's Lisa "Left
Eye" Lopes. The group's self-titled album debuted in 1999. Lopes herself
died in a 2002 car accident in Honduras.
Fellow Blaque members Shamari Devoe and Brandi Williams took to Twitter on Saturday to remember Reed.
"My world as I know it
has forever changed. Until we meet again, may you find comfort in the
arms of an angel. I love you Natina," Devoe tweeted.
Reed also appeared in the
2000 movie "Bring it On" as Jenelope, a feisty cheerleader from East
Compton. Her co-star, Gabrielle Union, also tweeted about her death
Saturday, posting "#RIP #Sad #BringItOn."
Reed is survived by her 10-year-old son, Tren.
