R&B Singer Natina Reed Was Living Out Of A MOTEL When She Died
The late R&B singer Natina Reed had been living in an extended stay
motel when she was killed in a car accident last week.
She was just 12 miles from the $45 per night StudioPlus Atlanta Peachtree Corners extended stay motel in Norcross, Georgia, when she was knocked down last Friday according to the police incident report.
Gwinnett County authorities are still seeking information to help explain the accidental death of the 32-year-old, who was a popular member of the 1990s girl group Blaque.
Natina also appeared in the 2000 film, Bring It On, in which she played cheerleader Jenelope. She was a protégé of the late Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, who died after crashing her car.
Reed has a 10-year-old son, Tren Brown, whose father is rapper Kurupt who paid his own tribute on Sunday evening.
“Myself and Tren, Natina’s son, would like to thank everyone for their love and support during this tragic time,’ he said. ‘This is a tremendous loss to our family. Natina was a great person and I wish everyone had the opportunity to meet her and know her as I did.”
Investigators are still trying to determine why Reed was in the roadway and whether she was crossing or walking alongside it.
She was wearing dark clothing in an area that had no artificial lighting, according to the incident report.
Other than the driver, who was not charged, and a passenger in the car, there do not appear to be any additional witnesses.
Gwinnett police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long said: “It’s kind of a dark lit area. There is not really anything in that area that’s open at that time of night, that would be any kind of a draw to a person up there.
Police said toxicology reports are pending and are standard in fatal accidents.”
The Gwinnett Police Department said the driver of the vehicle which hit Reed called 911 at 10:30 PM on Friday night and she was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical Centre 29 minutes later.
A press release relayed that Reed was in the roadway on Lawrenceville Highway near Hamilton Road when struck.’
Police say the driver was determined to be NOT at fault and there are no charges pending.
