Former Nickelodeon Star Kianna Underwood Killed in Hit-and-Run
Tragedy struck on Friday when Kianna Underwood, a beloved former child star from the popular sketch comedy show "All That," was killed in a hit-and-run incident in New York. The 33-year-old victim was found lying in an intersection in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood after being struck by a black Ford Explorer SUV.
According to the police report, while Underwood lay in the street, she was then hit again by a black and gray sedan. Both drivers involved fled the scene, leaving authorities with no leads on their identities. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
Underwood's acting career began taking shape when she voiced the character Fuschia Glover in the Nick Jr. show "Little Bill" between 1999 and 2004. She also spent a year on the first national tour of "Hairspray" as Little Inez, solidifying her presence in the entertainment industry.
Her role on "All That" marked one of Underwood's last credited appearances in television before leaving the show. The program had launched the careers of numerous comedians and actors over its decade-long run, including Nick Cannon, Kenan Thompson, and Amanda Bynes.
As authorities continue to search for those responsible for Underwood's death, her fans are left to mourn the loss of a talented young woman whose contributions to children's entertainment will be remembered. The investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing.

Can't believe what happened to Kianna... so sad 
She was like, such a big part of my childhood with 'All That' and 'Little Bill'. Always loved her energy on screen 
. But seriously, hit-and-run incidents are just horrific... hope the cops catch whoever did this ASAP 
. Still can't get over the fact that she's no longer here 
. Fingers crossed for justice to be served 
She was just 33 and had so much life ahead of her... it's crazy to think about how fast time flies, especially when you're chasing your dreams like she did 
. And Little Inez in "Hairspray"? Iconic role! 
Anyway, my thoughts are with Kianna's loved ones and fans who're still trying to process this. We need to keep her memory alive 
they gotta bring some justice to her family 
her character Fuschia Glover was my fave 
it's crazy that she's no longer with us 
she had such a promising life ahead of her... I wonder if anyone even remembers Little Bill? 
. We should all be hoping for those responsible to come forward and face justice, but for now, let's just remember Kianna's awesome talents and the smiles she brought to our screens over the years 
just heard about Kianna Underwood... so sad 
she was already killing it on "All That" and "Little Bill"... and now she's gone? 
I mean, I'm all for closure, but the whole hit-and-run thing is just... ugh 
can't even get a good ID from the drivers 
. The thought of those drivers just leaving the scene is just devastating 
can't believe what happened to Kianna Underwood - she was such an iconic part of my childhood, growing up watching "All That" and loving her character on "Little Bill". Hit-and-run incidents are just so senseless... the fact that two drivers just left her lying in the street like that is just heartbreaking 
. I hope whoever is responsible for this horrific act gets caught ASAP, but I'm sure it's not bringing back Kianna Underwood, that's for sure 
?

... just kidding! 
why do these talented people have to die? 
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" 
Little Bill was literally my favorite show when I was little lol I'm still in shock that the person who played Fuschia Glover is no longer with us 
we need to do more to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again 
it's crazy that someone would just run away from a hit-and-run, like what even is the point of leaving the scene? shouldn't we be trying to help each other out instead of running? 
. It's also crazy how quickly she went from being a kid star to becoming an adult with her own life... RIP Kianna you will be missed 
she was so talented and had such a bright future ahead of her 
i remember watching "All That" with my family back in the day and being obsessed with her character on the show 
the investigation is going to be so tough to crack but I have faith in the NYPD to get to the bottom of it 
my heart goes out to her family and friends during this devastating time 
RIP Kianna, u were an inspiration to many, especially kids who grew up watching ur characters come to life in shows like "Little Bill". 
I'm no expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's not exactly common for two separate drivers to flee the scene and then leave the cops with nothing.
