Love and Hip Hop star Erica Mena’s ex-boyfriend CLiff Dixon was shot and killed in Atlanta.

Atlanta police department has confirmed the identity of a man who was shot and killed just outside of a nightclub in Atlanta early Thursday morning. Cliff Dixon, who is well known for his past relationship with Erica Mena, and his friendship with Kevin Durant, was gunned down as he was leaving his birthday party at SL Lounge, Fox 5 reported.

Dixon was still alive when paramedics arrived on the scene, but he was in critical condition, so they rushed him to Grady Memorial Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. According to investigators, the gunman fled the scene on foot.

Police officers were hesitant to release his name to the media, but then his associates started to send their condolences on social media, and that’s when everyone started putting the puzzle together.
