Broadway actor Imani Smith, known for playing Young Nala in Disney’s The Lion King, has died after an alleged homicide in the United States. The news has left you confronting another shocking loss from the performing arts world.
According to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, Imani was fatally stabbed on December 21. Police responded to a 911 call at a home in Edison and found her with multiple stab wounds.
