According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Gwinnett County authorities are seeking information to help explain the accidental death of R&B singer Natina Reed of the female group Blaque, who was struck and killed late October 26 while standing in a roadway just north of Lillburn, Georgia. Gwinnet County police would like to speak to “anyone who might have information about anything that could help us determine why she was there, anything to help us understand how this came together,” said police spokesman Sgt. Rick Long. The driver, who was not immediately, was not expected to be charged. Investigators were still trying to determine why Reed was in the roadway and whether she was crossing or walking alongside of it. Aside from the group Blaque, Reed was also well known for her role in the hit film ‘Bring It On,” which also starred Gabrielle Union.
