AUTHORITIES IN FLORIDA have arrested a man in connection with the shooting death of rapper XXXTentacion.
22-year-old Dedrick Devonshay Williams of Pompano Beach was arrested shortly before 7pm yesterday evening, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy (20) who went by the stage name XXXTentacion was gunned down on Monday as he left an upscale motorcycle dealership near Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he was planning to make a purchase.
Authorities said the rapper was ambushed by two suspects.
His lawyer, David Bogenschutz, said on Tuesday that investigators told him XXXTentacion had visited a bank shortly before the shooting and possibly withdrew cash to buy a motorcycle at Riva Motorsports in Deerfield Beach.
He was exiting the dealership in his luxury BMW electric car when he was shot.
Williams is charged with first-degree murder without premeditation, a probation violation and for not having a valid driver’s licence.
He was being held without bond in the Broward County jail today.
