BROOKLYN (CelebrityAccess) — A crew member on the Starz network drama series “Power” which stars rapper 50 Cent, was killed on set during a shoot early Monday morning.

According to New York’s WPIX, 63-year-old Pedro Jimenez, a production assistant for the show, was pronounced dead at a hospital after he was struck by a vehicle while setting up traffic cones during a shoot in Brooklyn.

Police told WPIX the 64-year-old driver of the vehicle remained at the scene. There have been no arrests.
