Once again, the United States demonstrates that it is far from being a prosperous and first-world country. A new firearm murder has occurred in the state of New Jersey. The sister of Naz Reid, a player for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA, has fallen victim to homicide.
Toraya Reid, the older sister of the Timberwolves center in the American league, was shot and killed last Saturday in New Jersey, as confirmed by local authorities.
The main suspect, who was in a romantic relationship with the victim, was arrested shortly after the incident. According to the police report, he faces charges of murder, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Toraya Reid, only 28 years old, was the eldest of three siblings. In several interviews, Naz had described the deep connection with his sister, whom he saw almost as a second mother: "My older sister is super protective. She treats us as if she were our mother," the player told Minneapolis-St. Paul magazine a few years ago.
Authorities in New Jersey have not disclosed further details about the motive for the crime but confirmed that the legal process against the suspect will proceed in the coming days.
From BlogDeBasket, we want to extend our deepest condolences to Naz Reid and his family, and we always condemn the legality of firearms in the United States. RIP.
