The Tragic Incident Involving Actor Taraja Ramsess and His Children

On Halloween night, October 31, 2023, actor and stuntman Taraja Ramsess tragically passed away in a car accident. The devastating incident also claimed the lives of three of his children, including a newborn daughter.

Ramsess, 41, was driving on a highway exit in DeKalb County, Georgia, when his car collided with a broken-down tractor-trailer.

It has been confirmed by his family that Ramsess’ 13-year-old daughter Sundari, 10-year-old son Kisasi, and eight-week-old daughter Fugibo succumbed to their injuries following the crash.

Unfortunately, Ramsess and his daughters lost their lives in the accident, while his son Kisasi was rushed to the hospital.

Tragically, it was revealed that the 10-year-old succumbed to his injuries four days later.

Fortunately, Ramsess’ three-year-old daughter Shazia survived with minor injuries and is currently recuperating in the hospital.

Another 15-year-old girl who was in the car sustained minor injuries.

Authorities have confirmed that Ramsess was driving the vehicle at the time of the collision, but the exact cause of the crash remains unknown.

Ramsess had worked as a stuntman in “Avengers: Endgame” and “Avengers: Infinity War,” among other film credits.

With 78 credits listed on IMDb, his diverse roles included numerous art department positions in films such as “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and “Fast & Furious 7.”

“All who knew and met him knew how special Taraja was,” expressed his mother, Akili, in a heartfelt post announcing his passing.

“He had a deep capacity for love and adored his children above all else.

“He had a deep affection for martial arts, motorcycles, and all aspects of filmmaking.

“His humor was both dry and sharp, and he could be comically corny when the occasion called for it.”

Akili remarked that all of her son’s finest qualities were embodied in Sundari, affectionately known as Sunny within the family.

She shared images of Ramsess beaming proudly with his children by his side, exclaiming, “Oh God! I can’t believe they’re gone.”

Ava DuVernay, an award-winning filmmaker, also paid tribute to the talented stuntman, describing him as “regal.”

“He carried himself like royalty. And in my eyes, always conducted himself as such,” she expressed on Instagram.

“Ramsess was always the first to agree, saying, ‘Yes, I’ll carry out my genuine responsibilities and then dive into this intense scene, portraying a tough individual wielding a gun for you.’

“After his agreement, everyone else followed suit. That’s the kind of person he was.”

“May his soul rest in peace. May his memory be cherished. May his loved ones and the numerous companions he leaves behind be blessed as he embarks on his next journey.”
