Aaron Salter III took to Instagram on Wednesday (June 20) to reveal the news, thanking the producer for his generosity while sharing a photo outside their house holding a “paid in full” sign.

“How many producers you know look out for people when they need it most?” he wrote in the caption. “Gotta say thanks to my favorite producer @metroboomin he called me and asked if he could help me during my tragic loss and did just that! No more mortgage Paid in full!!! Thanks @metroboomin ill never forget what you did!”

Metro Boomin added in the comments, “Love always bro! My line is always open and I meant every single thing I said back when we spoke.”

Aaron Salter Jr. confronted and opened fire on the gunman at a Tops Friendly Markets on May 14, before being killed along with nine others.

“The security guard that was killed did shoot and hit the suspect but it did not penetrate the body armor,” Buffalo mayor Byron Brown told CNN. “Former Buffalo Police Lieutenant Aaron Salter died a hero trying to stop the shooter and protect others in the community.”

Aaron Salter III paid tribute to his father following his passing, calling him a “hero” and “the best role model” in an Instagram post.

“I love you man you were such a hero!” he wrote in May. “Saved those peoples life’s and I couldn’t even say goodbye to you! Such a kind soul I didn’t wake up expecting this but I love you dad you were the best role model. Even in death you taught me how to be a stand up guy I’ll see you again.”

At the time of his death, Aaron Salter Jr. was just one course away from graduating college with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Canisius College posthumously honored him with the degree, with his son accepting the diploma during a graduation ceremony in May.
