Tragic RnB star Natina Reed had been living in a extended stay motel when she was killed in a car accident last week.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, her family is planning a  press conference in the city to discuss the case, according to attorney Christopher Chestnut’s office.
Investigators are still trying to determine why Reed was in the roadway and whether she was crossing or walking alongside it.
She was wearing dark clothing in an area that had no artificial lighting, according to the incident report.
Other than the driver, who was not charged, and a passenger in the car, there do not appear to be any additional witnesses.

Gwinnett police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long said: 'It’s kind of a dark lit area. There is not really anything in that area that’s open at that time of night, that would be any kind of a draw to a person up there.
