Tragedy Strike: Power Crew Member Killed on Set!

It’s very sad to lose on of your own and that is the case for the Power family. The cast and crew in the wake of learning that their crew member, Pedro Jimenez died on the set of the STARZ primetime drama, are sharing heartfelt messages in regards to his passing.


According to reports, Pedro, 63, a production assistant was setting up traffic cones for a shoot in Brooklyn at about 4:20 in the morning. It was at this point that he was struck down by a 2006 Ford Explorer. The driver remained at the scene until EMS showed up and Jimenez was taken to Brooklyn Hospital where he was pronounced dead.




The series has since put a halt on the production of season 6. See how the cast members reacted below!

May Pedro Jimenez rest in grace, love, and peace. Sometimes there is no silver lining. My heart goes out to his family and to all that loved him. This tragedy has rocked our Power family to the core. We are eternally grateful for his service and contribution. Que Dios te cuide, Pedro.

I sit next to my family as i type this post of a day gone the worst. Started as a regular ole workday for everyone of us. Ironically for me the night prior saw me as part of the special CNN Heroes annual gala honoring local yet worldwide heroes. I found myself presenting to 1 of those heroes. And now, as the man who was given the challenge of quarterbacking this very formidable team into 6 successful seasons of play, i find myself presenting along with my colleagues & producers this tragic tragic news of one of our work family members losing his life on the job. Unless under a rock ….all of you who have rooted for me & this show…..have heard me pay homage to our crew over & over & over again. I was born a team player & will leave this earth as one. On this “just another work day”, we all were & are faced with the harshest of realities that a wife has lost her husband, children their father & friends…..their beautiful hardworking GRACIOUS Pedro. As the QB of this show & as the face of the network, this has of course affected me. But as a person in communication & exchange of spirit as much as i was with good ole Pedro…i’m rocked. NO team ever imagines losing a teammate. Let alone like this. On behalf of ALL of us here at Power, we send our deepest condolences to the entire Jimenez family & God, we ask that you warmly receive our good ole Pedro. Please send up prayers for the Jimenez family while loving on your own 🙏🏽

You never think something like this is gonna happen in your yard – then it does. So heartbroken for Pedro and his universe of family, kids and friends. I’m in a fog as I try to honor this man in my spirit. My takeaway – is don’t hold back anything from your loved ones, be present, be available, don’t wait, express the love. Cuz… none of us are exempt from tragedy and it doesn’t wait for the “right time” to strike. So I’m going to love harder and more deeply to honor #PedroJimenez
