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.

CCSO's Traffic Services Unit is currently investigating the incident, saying that no charges have been filed yet.

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.

After the news broke, Stokes took to Instagram Story to remember his friend and stand-in.

According to the actor - who plays the role of John B - he is yet to process the devastating event in his life and career.

"My heart is shattered. Your life was just starting. We JUST talked about how pumped you were about your tunes, how far you'd come with that ole 6 string and your want to keep creating art. Always always making others hearts warm and being so damn selfless," he wrote on his Instagram Story on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old star disclosed that he wanted to share more words, but he struggled in the past day.

Kimmie Stewart Casting also confirmed Netflix has setup a grief counseling for cast and crew members who want to take it.
