A grand jury in Broward County, Florida has indicted four men in the killing of rapper/singer XXXTentacion.
The Rapper whose real name Jahseh Onfroy, was shot dead in Broward County, Florida on June 18 as he was leaving a motorcycle dealership. He was 20 years old.
The four men face first-degree murder charges along with charges of armed robbery with a firearm. Two of those men—Boatwright and Williams—have been arrested. Two others—Allen and Newsome—remain at large.
Police believe that Newsome and Boatwright were the gunmen who approached X’s car. They also believe Boatwright was the one who shot and killed him. In addition to murder charges, all four men have been formally accused of armed robbery with a firearm. Police are offering a reward of $3,000 (£2,300) for information leading to the arrest of Allen or Newsome, while a hotline has been set up for people to share tips anonymously.
Williams later told police he was with others at the motorcycle shop but did not know in advance they intended to rob the rapper, according to records. Authorities say Williams drove the SUV.
“Williams stated that he wanted to tell the truth … Williams stated he was fearful of being labeled a snitch when he went to prison,” the warrant says.
