Toraya Reid, the sister of Minnesota Timberwolves player Naz Reid, was fatally shot at a New Jersey apartment complex by her boyfriend, who was charged with murder, authorities said Monday.
Police went to the Paragon apartment complex in Jackson around 11 a.m. Saturday, after receiving reports of shots fired. They soon found Toraya, 28, unresponsive near the complex's exit, and she apparently had been shot multiple times, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said. Officers also saw Shaquille Green, 29, of Jackson running down a nearby road, and he was soon taken into custody without incident.
Besides the murder count, Green also faces two weapons charges. Billhimer said Toraya and Green had been in "a dating relationship" but did not provide further details.
Green remained jailed on Monday, and prosecutors did not know if he had retained an attorney.
Naz Reid's agents did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Monday.
Jackson is a community in southern New Jersey, about 31 miles (50 kilometers) northeast of Philadelphia.
