Baltimore, MD, (March 1, 2025) -
The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) mourned the loss of neo-soul singer and artist Angie Stone, who tragically died in a car accident earlier today. Ms. Stone was scheduled to perform at the halftime show of the CIAA's Men's Championship Basketball game today at 4:00 pm. Upon hearing of her sudden passing, CIAA Chaplain Pastor Jerome Barber called for a moment of silence and lifted her name in prayer before the hushed and saddened stadium of CIAA fans.
CIAA Commissioner Jacqie McWilliams-Parker issued the following statement:
"We are heartbroken by the tragic and sudden passing of Angie Stone, an award-winning singer, a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., a community activist, role model, and mother whose soulful artistry and spirit made an indelible mark on her community, our nation, and the world. She used her incredible talent, passion, and presence to inspire and touch us with strength and hope."
On behalf of the CIAA family, we extend our deepest condolences and stand in support of all those mourning this tremendous loss.
