How did XXXTentacion die?

XXXTENTACION rose to prominence for his hit singles Changes, Sad!, and Moonlight.

The rapper's life was cut short after he was tragically gunned down.

How did XXXTentacion die?

At the time of his death, XXXTentacion, whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, was only 20 years old.

On June 18, 2018, the young rapper died after he was approached by two armed suspects in what police say was a possible robbery.

X was reportedly shopping for motorcycles in South Florida and was leaving a dealership at the time.

He was taken to the hospital around 1.35pm local time after he was shot multiple times, where he later passed away.

Who are the XXXTentacion murder suspects?

A month after X's passing, four men were charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and armed robbery in connection to XXXTentacion's death.

The suspects involved were:

• Dedrick Williams
• Michael Boatwright
• Trayvon Newsome
• Robert Allen

Shortly after the rapper's death, his sister Ariana Onfroy told The Sun that she believed the murder was an "inside job."

"There's somebody on the inside that knew where he was going to be and the exact time he was leaving for the murderers to know when to come and to do what they did. It definitely was set up," she said.

The alleged killers have since pleaded not guilty to the charges against them and were previously held at the Broward County Sheriff’s Office in Fort Lauderdale while they awaited trial.

On March 20, 2023, Williams, Boatwright, and Newsome were found guilty of the first-degree murder and armed robbery of XXXTentacion.

Former suspect Robert Allen became a witness in the case and testified against the other three suspects.
