Rihanna’s family is in mourning following the loss of her cousin, Tavon Alleyne.

Just a day after seeing him for Christmas in her native home of Barbados, 21-year-old Tavon was shot several times and killed by an unidentified man as he was walking near his home in the St. Michael area of the island.
