Tuesday was an emotional day for singer and songwriter Rihanna. Just mere hours after celebrating Christmas Day, Rihanna got the tragic news that her cousin was shot and killed in Barbados.

Rihanna's cousin, Tavon Kaiseen Allenye, was walking in the St Michael's area around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 26, when an unidentified man opened fire several times. Although Allenye was rushed to the hospital shortly after the incident, he later died from his injuries.

The Grammy award-winning singer paid tribute to Allenye on Instagram by posting a series of photos of him while calling for an end to gun crime in the country.
