Gone far too soon. Erica Mena’s ex-boyfriend, Cliff Dixon, was tragically shot and killed while celebrating his 32nd birthday in Atlanta on March 21 and she took to social media with a heartfelt tribute after hearing the devastating news. The Love & Hip Hop star shared her condolences and expressed how he “didn’t deserve this.”

Mena, 31, posted a childhood photo of Dixon on Instagram Stories alongside an emotional caption and prayer emoji. “We all dealt with so much. You dealt with a lot. I’m so sorry this happened, you didn’t deserve this. Rest in forever peace,” the VH1 alum continued. “Watch over your blood sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, and your mommy. I know they are so broken right now.”

The reality star continued to share powerful words. “Please love me while I’m still here,” Mena posted, followed by, “Nothing is promised. Appreciate life.” Mena and Dixon reportedly dated for about 10 months before they parted ways in late 2018. She’s now engaged to Safaree Samuels.
