Actress Kianna Underwood, best known for her appearance on Nickelodeon’s sketch comedy show “All That,” has died after a hit-and-run incident in New York on Friday, Jan. 16. She was 33.
According to People, the New York Police Department said Underwood was crossing the intersection of Watkins Street and Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville around 6:50 a.m. when a black Ford SUV hit her. A second vehicle, described as a black and gray sedan, then struck her.
Authorities pronounced Underwood dead at the scene. Both drivers left the area and have not been identified.
“There are no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad,” the NYPD confirmed to the outlet.
Additionally, sources told the New York Post that Underwood may have been crossing against the light after leaving a nearby bodega, suggesting the first driver might not have seen her.
Underwood’s acting career began in the late 1990s when she voiced Fuschia Glover in the animated series “Little Bill” from 1999 to 2004. She later got her big break on “All That” in 2005, which starred Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, and Kenan Thompson.
Underwood’s work extended beyond television to include playing Tanessha Labelle in the 1999 comedy film “The 24 Hour Woman,” as well as taking on a minor role in the 2003 satire film “Death of a Dynasty.”
She also performed as little Inez in the first national tour of “Hairspray.”
