Three men were found guilty of the 2018 murder of rapper XXXTentacion, who was only 20 years old when he was shot to death outside a bike shop in Florida.
Dedrick Williams, 26, Trayvon Newsome, 24, and Michael Boatwright, 28, were found guilty of first-degree murder and armed robbery after a Broward County, Florida jury deliberated for greater than seven days.
The trio robbed rapper whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy of $50,000 during a robbery on June 18, 2018.
Robert Allen, the fourth man involved within the robbery, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last yr and testified against three other defendants, but has yet to be convicted.
The trio’s attorneys made wild accusations in the course of the trial, including that authorities must have looked into other suspects resembling rapper Drake because he had a feud with XXXTentacion.
The rapper was leaving Riva Motorsports when an SUV swerved in front of his automobile and blocked it.
Security camera footage of the incidents shows him being confronted by two masked gunmen, one of whom was Boatwright, who shot him multiple times.
The boys grabbed his Louis Vuitton purse full of money and drove away.
