It’s never gets easier to report on tragic events, especially senseless deaths. With that said, MissInfo.tv is sad to report that Natina Reed, formerly of the girl group Blaque, was killed after being hit by a car on Friday night. Reed was reportedly struck by a vehicle while she crossed a roadway on the Lawerenceville highway in Atlanta. TMZ says the investigation is still ongoing, but the driver has not been charged with any crimes. The late rapper/singer is survived by her 10-year-old son with Kurupt. Natina would have turned 33 today.

Blaque members Brandi Williams and Shamari Fears-DeVoe released this statement:

“We are devastated by the loss of our group member, sister and friend Natina Reed. 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.”
