A former Broadway child star was fatally stabbed at her home in New Jersey over the weekend, CBS News reported Friday, citing the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
Imani Smith, who was just 26-years-old, was found with multiple stab wounds in her Edison, New Jersey home on Sunday. She was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital and is survived by her parents and three-year-old son.
The former Broadway actress is known for playing Young Nala in The Lion King on Broadway from 2011 through 2012. She has been described by former cast mates as having a "great voice," and bringing energy to the role.

Decades of teaching a total disregard for life is taking its toll.
Baby-daddy. My first guess.
Jordan Jackson-Small, no impulse control ....
Amen.
Grok:
“ Her boyfriend, Jordan D. Jackson-Small, aged 35, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon. Authorities from the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office stated that the incident was not random and that Smith and Jackson-Small knew each other prior to the event. Family statements, including a GoFundMe organized by her aunt, explicitly identify him as her boyfriend and describe the killing as senseless.
The case is ongoing, with Jackson-Small held pending a pre-trial detention hearing. Smith is survived by her 3-year-old son (whom some reports indicate Jackson-Small fathered), her parents, and two younger siblings.
This information is consistent across multiple reputable sources, including official prosecutor statements and major outlets like The New York Times, Deadline, Variety, USA Today, and NBC News. No trial has occurred yet, so he remains the charged suspect.”
