Kianna Underwood, who starred in both Nickelodeon’s All That series and Little Bill, was reportedly killed in a horrific hit-and-run, according to NYPD officials. Sources close to the situation told TMZ that Kianna was left “motionless” in the street after being dragged under a vehicle for nearly two blocks. According to the outlet, the call went out early Friday (Jan.16). When EMS and police officials arrived, the former actress was announced dead on the scene.
Underwood was only 33 years old at the time of her death. Back in 2023, a video posted to social media showed a former co-star of Underwood’s revealing that the actress had been homeless for quite some time. While she never called out anyone by name, she accused Nickelodeon and other castmates of not helping the star despite portraying “one big family.”
Kianna Underwood’s Father Speaks Out: “Did anyone try to comfort my baby?”
No arrests have been made so far. NBC News recently reported that Underwood had been crossing the street in the Brownsville area of Brooklyn. NYPD officials say she was initially hit by a black SUV, then struck again by a black-and-gray sedan. “The operators of the vehicles did not remain on scene,” said the NYPD in a recent statement.
The late actress’ father hopped on Facebook, questioning if she had been left to “die in the street alone.” He added, “Did anyone try to comfort my baby…or did they just stand around with their phones?” The post was only shared with close family and friends. So far, no other family members have spoken up about the horrific incident. The NY Post obtained footage of the moment where a car can be seen traveling nearly a block before Underwood’s body tumbles from underneath.
