Rapper-Singer XXXTentacion was shot on Monday in Florida. Later he was taken to Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
The 20-year-old rising star, whose real name is Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was shopping for motorcycles. He was in his vehicle and preparing to leave, when a gunman reportedly ran up to his vehicle and shot him, according to TMZ.
At least one of them fired, and then both suspects fled the scene in a dark-colored SUV. Investigators don’t have a motive, and no arrests have been made.
Investigators guess the shooting may have been a possible robbery.
In a post to Instagram on an unspecified recent date, he mused about his own death, something he did with frequency.
“If I’m going to die or ever be a sacrifice, I want to make sure that my life made at least five million kids happy or they found some sort of answers or resolve in my life regardless of the negative around my name, regardless of the bad things people say to me,” he said.
