Three men have been found guilty of murdering XXXTentacion outside a motorcycle shop in Florida in 2018.
The trial began back in February, nearly five years after— real name Jahseh Onfroy — was shot and killed on June 18, 2018 at the age of 20. Lead prosecutor Pascale Achille argued that Onfroy was killed in a robbery gone wrong: She said the suspects planned to commit armed robberies that day, but only happened upon Onfroy at the motorcycle shop because that’s where they’d stopped to buy masks.
Achille claimed the suspects blocked Onfroy’s car as he tried to leave the dealership. A struggle ensued as Boatwright and Newsome allegedly wrestled away a bag from Onfroy with $50,000 cash in it. Achille then said Boatwright shot Onfroy several times “without any provocation.” The prosecution built its case around surveillance footage, cellphone data that allegedly linked the suspects to the motorcycle shop, as well as social media posts that allegedly showed them flashing the money they stole form Onfroy. Arguably most important was the testimony of Robert Allen, a fourth suspect who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery with a firearm last year.
Allen spent several days testifying during the trial, during which he discussed how he and the other suspects wound up at the motorcycle shop and the on-the-spot decision to target Onfroy. Allen said it was Williams who convinced the group to confront Onfroy, and that it was Boatwright who shot him. Allen also said he decided not to take part in the robbery because he “was on camera” at the store, though he did say he still got a cut of $5,000 .
