Toraya Reid, Sister of NBA’s Naz Reid, Fatally Shot in New Jersey as Boyfriend Is Charged

Authorities say the 28-year-old was killed outside a Jackson Township apartment complex, with the suspect jailed pending a detention hearing.

Overview

  • Police responded around 11 a.m. on Sept. 6 to reports of gunfire at the Paragon Apartment complex in Jackson Township and found Reid unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds near the exit.
  • Officers observed a man fleeing and took 29-year-old Shaquille Green into custody on a nearby road without incident, officials said.
  • Prosecutors charged Green with first-degree murder and weapons offenses, and he is being held at the Ocean County Jail awaiting a detention hearing.
  • Investigators from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Major Crime Unit, Jackson Township Police, and the county Sheriff’s CSI unit identified Green, who had been in a dating relationship with Reid, as responsible for her death.
  • Naz Reid and family members shared public tributes and requested respect for Toraya’s identity, as the Timberwolves center enters training camp following a five-year, $125 million extension earlier this summer.
