BREAKING: Three men accused of ambushing, robbing, and ultimately killing South Florida rapper XXXTentacion were convicted on Monday in the June 2018 murder.
, 24, Dedrick Williams, 26, and Michael Boatwright, 28, were found guilty of first-degree murder and robbery with a firearm in connection with the fatal shooting of the 20-year-old rapper, which was captured by security cameras and sent the Hip Hop world into equal mourning and outrage. The trio now faces life in prison.
Prosecutors allege that on June 18, 2018, the group waited for XXXTentacion, whose real name is Jahseh Onfroy, outside of a Fort Lauderdale motorcycle shop, Reva Motorsports, before blocking his BMW as he tried to leave. Two masked gunmen then confronted XXXTentacion—before shooting repeatedly and grabbing a Louis Vuitton bag stuffed with $50,000 in cash. The group fled the scene and one of XXXTentacion’s friends, who was in the passenger seat of the car, was unharmed.“This is who they are.
“Whoever [XXXTentacion] struggled with is not in this courtroom,” Joseph Kimok, who represented Boatwright, told jurors this week. “The DNA proves that someone not named Michael Boatwright or Trayvon Newsome participated in this murder.” “As they’re driving, coming out of RIVA Motorsports, Dedrick [Williams] blocks them off, and Michael Boatwright and Trayvon Newsome get out and rob them,” Allen testified. Noting that Boatwright and Newsome then exited the car “very fast,” Allen said that he saw the former point his gun at XXXTentacion while the latter took the rapper’s necklace.
“During that time, Mr. Onfroy is inside Reva,” Achille said. “He doesn't have a clue that any of this is about to happen—that he has only eight minutes and 35 seconds left to live.”
