XXXTentacion murder suspects found guilty
It’s been almost five years, since the fatal shooting of buzzing Florida rapper, XXXTentacion. He was shot and killed in his hometown area of Broward County, after leaving a motorcycle dealership. As a result, the killers took a Louis Vuitton bag that was filled with $50,000 inside of it, and went on to show the money off, on social media.
The XXXTentacion trial kicked off last month, as the verdict was officially announced, on Monday. Therefore, three men have been found guilty of first-degree murder with a firearm and armed robbery, according to TMZ. These are Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams.
A fourth suspect, Robert Allen previously pled guilty last year, to second-degree murder. In this plea deal, Allen also went on to testify against the other suspects. He claimed that he was skeptical about robbing XXXTentacion, and supposedly tried to convince the other suspects to to not carry out the robbery.
At the time of his death, XXXTentacion was only 20-years-old, but one of the biggest artists in Florida. His first two albums debuted in the top two in the US, on the Billboard 200 chart. Two posthumous albums have since been released in late 2018 and 2019, both of which had a number one and number five debut. X’s 2018 “Sad!” single also went diamond.
