Nearly twenty-four hours before her 33rd birthday, Reed was struck by a car on Friday night.
According to the Gwinett Police Department, the driver of the vehicle that hit Reed called 911 at 10:30 PM last night. Reed was pronounced dead at Gwinett Medical Center 29 minutes later, TMZ reports.
A press release said that Reed “was in the roadway on Lawrenceville Highway near Hamilton Road when struck.” The driver in the hit-and-run incident “was determined to be not at fault and there are no charges pending.” Police say the investigation is still ongoing.
In a statement by her bandmates, Brandi Williams and Shamari Fears-DeVoe, they said they were devastated by the news.
“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,” the statement said.
“She will forever be missed and her global influence eternally felt.”
Natina is survived by a 10-year-old son she had with rapper Ricardo Brown who she was engaged to in 2001.
