Their other sister Jakahya mourned Toraya in a post on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always send our condolences and say we could never imagine ourselves in that situation… and yet here I am. Facing the unimaginable. Without you by my side,\u201d Jakahya wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just talked to you last night bro we was ki\u2019ing bout this n**** not even knowing what was waiting on you the very next morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll never get over this I\u2019ll never forgive god for taking you away from me, idk what kind of sick plan that man above has but I know losing you couldn\u2019t have been a part of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even phantom (sic) putting your name and death in the same sentence. This s*** real so surreal. The whole way home I was just hoping and praying it was some kind of sick joke. That you would call me and tell me it wasn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disgusted. I\u2019m hurt. But most of all I\u2019m angry. I will never be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naz Reid grew up in New Jersey before attending Louisiana State University as his basketball career progressed.<\/p>\n
