Taraja Ramsess, a renowned stuntman, actor, and martial artist known for his work in blockbuster movies such as "Black Panther" and "Avengers," tragically lost his life along with three of his children in a devastating car crash in Georgia last week.

According to Atlanta TV station WSB-TV, the fatal accident occurred shortly before midnight on Halloween when the vehicle carrying Ramsess and his children collided with a tractor-trailer that had broken down in the left lane of an exit off the interstate.

Ramsess' mother, Akili Ramsess, who is a photojournalist and serves as the executive director of the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), shared the heartbreaking news of her son's passing and the loss of two of his daughters through an emotional Instagram post.

In her post, Akili Ramsess wrote, "My beautiful, loving, talented son Taraja @chop.saki, along with two of my grandbabies, his 13-year-old daughter Sundari and his 8-week-old newborn daughter Fujibo, were killed the previous night in a horrific traffic accident."

While the crash claimed the lives of Taraja Ramsess, Sundari, and Fujibo, it was revealed that two of Ramsess' daughters survived the accident. However, his three-year-old daughter, Shazia, was hospitalized, and his 10-year-old son, Kisasi, was on life support. Tragically, a subsequent update shared by Akili Ramsess informed the public that Kisasi had also succumbed to his injuries.

Taraja Ramsess was not only a highly skilled stuntman and actor but also a dedicated family man, as expressed by his long-time friend and X3 Sports trainer, Tony Tucci. Tucci shared his grief with WSB-TV, saying, "When I first heard about it, I broke down. I had to sit down." Tucci described Ramsess as always prioritizing his family, with his loved ones often joining him during training sessions.

Acclaimed director Ava DuVernay, a close friend of Ramsess, took to Instagram to express her sorrow, emphasizing the deep love he held for his children. She wrote, "My goodness, did he love his children. A happy, whole love. Beautiful to behold." DuVernay also acknowledged Ramsess' passion for his craft, highlighting his versatility and dedication to various positions in the film industry throughout the years.

Taraja Ramsess leaves behind an impressive body of work, including notable films like "Avengers: End Game," "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," "Creed III," "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," and "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law." Marvel Studios, the production company behind many of his projects, has yet to comment on this tragic loss.

The passing of Taraja Ramsess and his three children has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond. Tributes and condolences continue to pour in as those close to him mourn the devastating loss of a talented artist and a beloved family man.
