Jimenez was pronounced dead at Brooklyn Hospital. The NYPD is still investigating the manner while production on Power has been temporarily shut down out of his respect for Jimenez's family.

"I just learned we lost Pedro Jimenez, a member of the Power production team early this morning," 50 Cent said alongside a completely black image.

"My prayers and condolences are with the entire Jimenez family," he continued.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of the members of our Power family. Our thoughts are with Mr. Jimenez' family as we work to fully understand what has happened," Starz said in a statement.
