According to TMZ, Tavon Alleyne, 21, was shot multiple times on Tuesday evening in Barbados. He was walking near his home in St. Michael when an unidentified man approached him, firing a gun at him multiple times. Alleyne was taken to the hospital following the shooting where he later died.
Rihanna took to social media to speak on her cousin’s passing, noting that she had spent time with him just a day prior for the holiday, making his passing all the more difficult to understand.
“RIP cousin… can’t believe it was just last night that I held you in my arms!” she said, “never thought that would be the last time I felt the warmth in your body!!! Love you always man! #endgunviolence.”
