It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we remember and honor the lives of Tacoma Reda, 22, and Ofelia Landa, 62 — two cherished residents of Wilmington, North Carolina — who were tragically killed in a serious collision on Wednesday afternoon on Oleander Drive. The Wilmington Police Department confirmed that the crash involved two SUVs and a motorcycle, in which Tacoma, riding the motorcycle, died at the scene, and Ofelia, a passenger in one of the vehicles, was taken to the hospital with life‑threatening injuries and later succumbed to them.
Tacoma and Ofelia were more than names in a report — they were treasured members of the Wilmington community whose sudden passing leaves a profound void in the lives of family, friends, and neighbors alike. In the midst of this devastating loss, we extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones and all who were touched by their presence.
