Black Characters Who Died on The Walking Dead

These actors were casualties on the hit series.

Dead Heads - There is a joke among The Walking Dead fans that when one Black character dies, another quickly takes their place. Hey, we're not complaining. From Michonne to Glen to Sasha, you can't deny that TWD is one of the most diverse shows on television. Here, we take a look back at the African-Americans who were killed off on The Walking Dead.   (Photos from left: Frank Ockenfels 3/AMC, Gene Page/AMC)
Jacqui - Played by Jeryl Prescott, Jacqui is the only Black female character in the main cast to die in The Walking Dead. However, Jacqui wasn't taken down by a walker. She met her end at the end of season one, when the CDC building was about to explode after a power outage. Instead of hitting the road with Rick and team, Jacqui decided to go down with the building.

Sean - Keedar Whittle played the grifter who attempted to kill Hershel and Glenn in the "Triggerfinger" episode during season two. Sean's plan backfired, however, when the seemingly anti-gun Hershel shot him in the chest and then, when that didn't finish the job, let walkers eat him alive.   (Photo: Jemal Countess/WireImage)Big Tiny - TWD's lovable giant, played by Theodus Crane, died in the prison camp in season three after his crew believed he had been infected by a walker. Despite his protests that he was fine, Tomas brutally bashed his head in with a crowbar.  (Photo: Gene Page/AMC)
