50 Cent has paid tribute to a member of the Power production team, who died while working on the show’s set yesterday in Brooklyn.
63-year-old Pedro Jimenez was hit by a car that was being driven by a colleague in Brooklyn. Jimenez, who is said to have worked on Power since 2014, was pronounced dead in hospital.
50 Cent, who stars as Kanan Stark and is an executive producer of the crime drama, later took to Instagram to pay his respects.
“I just learned we lost Pedro Jimenez, a member of the Power production team early this morning,” the rapper and actor posted as the caption to a black screen. “My prayers and condolences are with the entire Jimenez family.”
Omari Hardwick, who portrays the show’s main character James “Ghost” St Patrick has also posted a message about Jimenez, calling him “beautiful, hardworking, and gracious.”
Power‘s filming was scheduled for a break during the holidays, however, due to Jimenez’s death, the filming has been suspended indefinitely.
