Tavon Kaiseen Alleyne was
walking in the St Michael’s area around 7pm on Boxing Day (26 December) when he
was shot by an unidentified man several times, according to Nation News. He was
21.
Rihanna’s cousin has been
shot dead mere hours after they spent Christmas Day together in Barbados.
Alleyne later succumbed to
his injuries after being rushed to hospital in a private vehicle.
The eight-time Grammy
award-winning singer paid tribute to Alleyne on Instagram, mourning him by
posting a series of photos of her cousin while calling for an end to gun crime
in the country.
“RIP cousin,“ she wrote.
“Can’t believe it was just last night that I held you in my arms! Never thought
that would be the last time I felt the warmth in your body!!! Love you always,
man!’
The “Work” singer also
captioned the photos with an #endgunviolence hashtag.
Police are currently on the
hunt for the shooter and have asked anyone with information to contact Crime
Stoppers or the District A Police Station.
