This is so awful.

Rihanna took to Instagram yesterday to mourn the loss of her cousin, who was shot and killed in her native Barbados just one day after they celebrated Christmas together.

"RIP cousin... 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! 😢🙏🏿❤ #endgunviolence," she captioned a series of photos of the two of them together.

Riri's relative Tavon Alleyne was just 21-years-old, and was shot several times by an unidentified man while walking through the St. Michael area of the island. Cops still haven't apprehended the shooter, and a motive for the murder is still unclear.

What a tragedy.
