XXXTentacion Was Robbed Of $50k In Cash When Murdered
by Staff Editor
Since the indictment of the four men involved in XXXTentacion’s death, more details have been unveiled about the day the rapper was murdered.
CNN reported that the Florida rapper had $50,000 in cash stuffed in a Louis Vuitton bag the day he was killed.
The 20-year-old was in Deerfield Beach at RIVA Motorsports trying to buy a new motorcycle when he was shot dead. He had just withdrawn the money and the cash was still in $100 bundles, according to CNN.
Surveillance video captured the rapper and a friend arriving at RIVA around 3:30 p.m. Shortly after an SUV pulled up to the shop and two men got out. The men casually passed by Tentacion and his companion who were shopping in the store.
The two men left and parked nearby before returning a few minutes later while Tentacion was getting into his BMW. The two men trapped him inside the lot, jumped out the SUV and shot him after a brief struggle.
The rapper died at a local hospital later that day. The four men indicted for his death and armed robbery was Michael Boatwright, Dedrick Williams, Robert Allen and Trayvon Newsome.
According to CNN sources, authorities seized several items from Williams’ home, including a live .22-caliber round that matched casings recovered from the crime scene and clothing items with tags still on them. They also found a receipt for almost $800 of clothes bought at a Fort Lauderdale store the day after the shooting.
CNN also says a video on Williams’ cell phone made shortly after the killing showed him dancing around with $100 bills and the phone’s GPS placed him at RIVA.
Based on the affidavit, Boatwright was also in possession of several $100 bills in cell phone photographs taken hours after the killing, and authorities found a receipt for more than $400 worth of clothing and shoes in a garbage can in a carport at Boatwright’s house on July 1.
Police uncovered searches on Boatwright’s phone for Tentacion by his last name — Onfroy — and for the words, “Accessory to Murder.”
Michael Boatwright and Dedrick Williams, also known as Tattooman Chucky on Instagram , are in custody, while Robert Allen and Trayvon Newsome still remain at large.
