‘Power’ Cast Reacts To Death of Crew Member Pedro Jimenez

Following the sudden passing of a crew member on Starz’s hit show “Power,” key characters of the series are reacting to the news on social media. Pedro Jimenez was struck by an SUV while he was attempting to set up a scene in Brooklyn. 50 Cent, who is one of the executive producers for the series reacted,

I just learned we lost Pedro Jimenez, a member of the Power production team early this morning. My prayers and condolences are with the entire Jimenez family.

While Omari Hardwick, who plays the character Ghost, attached a lengthy caption,

I sit next to my family as i type this post of a day gone the worst. Started as a regular ole workday for everyone of us. Ironically for me the night prior saw me as part of the special CNN Heroes annual gala honoring local yet worldwide heroes. I found myself presenting to 1 of those heroes. And now, as the man who was given the challenge of quarterbacking this very formidable team into 6 successful seasons of play, i find myself presenting along with my colleagues & producers this tragic tragic news of one of our work family members  losing his life on the job. Unless under a rock ….all of you who have rooted for me & this show…..have heard me pay homage to our crew over & over & over again. I was born a team player & will leave this earth as one. On this “just another work day”, we all were & are faced with the harshest of realities that a wife has lost her husband, children their father & friends…..their beautiful hardworking GRACIOUS Pedro. As the QB of this show & as the face of the network, this has of course affected me. But as a person in communication & exchange of spirit as much as i was with good ole Pedro…i’m rocked. NO team ever imagines losing a teammate. Let alone like this. On behalf of ALL of us here at Power, we send our deepest condolences to the entire Jimenez family & God, we ask that you warmly receive our good ole Pedro. Please send up prayers for the Jimenez family while loving on your own

Lala, who plays Lakeisha, followed Hardwick’s suit and reshared his sentiments but adding,

Thank you Omari for these much needed words today. On behalf of myself and my Power family…prayers and love for our GRACIOUS Pedro and the Jimenez family. its a sad day. Love More. Live More. Laugh More. Rest in Heaven Dear Pedro
