Taraja Ramsess, a stuntman who worked on popular movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, They Cloned Tyrone, and Creed III, was tragically killed in a car accident that also took the lives of his son and two daughters.
On October 31st, Akili Ramsess, Taraja's mother, posted a heartbreaking Instagram post announcing the news. She stated that two of his other daughters survived the crash, but his 13-year-old daughter, Sundari, and his 2-month-old daughter, Fujibo, did not make it. At the time, his son, Shazia, was on life support, but in a subsequent post on November 5th, Akili confirmed his passing as well.
"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," Akili wrote.
According to WSB TV, Taraja's car hit the back of a broken-down tractor-trailer on an Atlanta highway near the Wesley Chapel Road exit.
One of Taraja's friends, Tony Tony Tucci, spoke fondly of him, saying, "When I first heard about it, I broke down. I had to sit down. He was always a family man. They would come and sit and watch him train, and they would jump in and start training too. He was always sharing his experiences, happy and glad to be part of that community. During the screening of Black Panther, he couldn’t stop talking about it. He was so happy to be a part of it."
Taraja had a long career in the film industry having worked on movies such as Emancipation, Black Adam, and Cruel Intentions. He also appeared on the TV shows BMF, Atlanta, and All the Queen’s Men.
He is survived by his mother and one child. To support the family in this difficult time, a GoFundMe has been created. We ask that everyone keep the Ramsess family in their thoughts and prayers in this devastating time.
