Chase Stokes' "Outer Banks" stand-in, Alexander "AJ" Jennings, died. He was only 22.

Amid the ongoing filming of "Outer Banks" season 3, the series faced a tragic event after Jennings untimely died in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The Charleston County Sheriff's Office shared a press release, saying that the cast/staff was killed in a hit-and-run incident on Tuesday.

As reported by E! News, investigators confirmed that Jennings was the male pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle before 2:30 a.m. on that day while walking on the road. He was then hit by another vehicle.

Both drivers fled the scene.

Responders still managed to rush Jennings to a nearby hospital, but he eventually died due to the injuries he sustained.

Jennings' employer, Kimmie Stewart Casting, released a statement on its Facebook account in which it confirmed the cast member died.

"It is with great sadness that I share on Tuesday, Alexander 'AJ' Jennings' mother informed me of his tragic death. AJ was a beautiful, kind soul & a bright light every day on set. He moved to Charleston from New York to work as our John B photo double/stand in this season," it said.
