A family of four has sadly died following a horrific car crash that happened on Halloween. Developing reports have revealed the identities of the victims which include Black Panther stuntman, Taraja Ramsess, and his three children.
Ramsess, 41, who also appeared in the “Avengers” and other films was on his way home around 11 p.m. Oct. 31 when he slammed into the truck that had broken down near an exit on an Atlanta-area highway, according to WSB-TV.
Officials said that Ramsess, along with his 13-year-old daughter Sundari and newborn daughter Fugibo, were all pronounced dead at the scene. His 10-year-old son Kisasi Ramsess was rushed to the hospital but died days later. The victim’s family announced the heartbreaking news over the weekend, according to WAGA.

His mother Akili Ramsess has taken to Instagram to confirm the news and to pay tribute to her son and his kids who died in the tragic crash. She said,
“My beautiful, loving, talented son Taraja @chop.saki, along with two of my grand babies, his 13 yo daughter Sundari and his 8-week-old newborn daughter Fujibo, were killed the previous night in a horrific traffic accident. My grandson, his 10yo son, Kisasi, ‘Sauce the Boss,” is on life support,” she said in an earlier post before updating everyone that he sadly died.
“Two of my granddaughters survived, the 3-yo Shazia is still hospitalized but is recovering with minor injuries. All who knew and met him knew how special Taraja was. He had a deep capacity for love and loved his children more than all. He loved his martial arts, motorcycles, and all things related to filmmaking. He has a very droll yet wicked sense of humor & yet could be as cornball corny as can be. Sundari, Sunny as she was called, also reflected that special light. Funny & loved to dance. Oh God! I can’t believe they’re gone! We are grieving and remain prayerful for my grandchildren’s recovery. Thank you to so many who have already reached out with kind words and prayers.”
Ramsess who also appeared in “The Suicide Squad” and “Creed III,” and was part of the crew at Ava DuVernay’s distribution company ARRAY, was honored by the filmmaker in an Instagram post. She said,
“I remember one day on set, we didn’t have enough Black background actors for a key scene. I had to recruit my crew members to be on-camera. Taraja was the first to say yes. Yes, I’ll do my real job and then jump into this wild scene playing a tough guy with a gun for you. From there – everyone else said yes too. He was that kind of person. A leader. A light,” she wrote.
Ramsess is survived by his mother and his surviving children.
