Her body was found near the exit of an apartment complex in Jackson Township, the victim of a deadly shooting that left her lifeless after multiple gunshot wounds, police confirmed Saturday morning.
The 28-year-old woman, identified as Toraya Reid, was a beloved member of her family and community, known for her warmth and compassion.
She was also the sister of NBA player Naz Reid, whose rise to fame has brought pride to their family. Her loss is deeply felt, leaving a void that will be hard to fill.

The scene was chaotic, but law enforcement acted swiftly to track down the suspect. Officers quickly located and arrested a man fleeing the area, identified as 29-year-old Shaquille Green.
Green, later confirmed to be Toraya’s boyfriend, was taken into custody and charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. Authorities revealed that the shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute that spiraled tragically out of control.
The news devastated her family and friends. Her sister Jakahya shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, expressing her heartbreak and grief. “Rest in peace, Toraya. You will be missed forever,” she wrote, her words echoing the pain felt by many who loved her.
