The location where XXXTentacion was shot dead
Death Location in Pompano Beach, Florida
This is the location where rapper and singer XXXTentacion (Jahseh Onfroy) was shot dead during an armed robbery.
It is situated on NE 37th Street in Pompano Beach, Florida.
On June 18th, 2018, the 20-year-old was fatally shot as he was exiting the RIVA Motorsports dealership in Pompano Beach.
As Onfroy was driving out of this entrance, a dark-colored SUV pulled up in front of his black BMW i8 and blocked him off.
At that point, two armed men in hoodies jumped out of the SUV and ordered XXXTentacion to hand over his belongings. However, the rapper seemingly refused to give in to their demands.
For a short while, the two men wrestled with Onfroy through the driver's side window. During the struggle, they managed to steal the rapper's chain and a Louis Vuitton bag containing $50,000 in cash.
Immediately after grabbing the items, one of Onfroy's attackers took two steps back from the vehicle and opened fire.
XXXTentacion was hit multiple times in the neck and left in critical condition. Following the shooting, he was rushed to the North Broward Medical Center in Deerfield Beach, where he was pronounced dead two hours later.
Following the shooting, four men were arrested and charged with his murder.
In August 2022, one of the men was allowed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder in exchange for testimony against the other three co-defendants.
During his testimony, he admitted that the group had tracked the rapper that day. After confirming that Onfroy was inside the dealership, they spent ten minutes waiting for him to leave.
On March 20th, 2023, the other three men were convicted of first-degree murder. As a result, they will all receive mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Robbery
This aerial image is facing northward, towards NE 37th Street.
We've added a screenshot of the surveillance footage to the top right-hand corner.
At the time, XXXTentacion was planning on turning right towards North Dixie Highway.
His assailants parked on NE 37th Street and spent 10 minutes waiting for him to exit the dealership. When they saw the rapper's BMW leaving the parking lot, they quickly pulled out in front of him and cut him off.
Due to the sudden nature of the ambush, it is likely that Onfroy froze and didn't have enough time to react.
While the robbery was taking place, Onfroy's friend, Leonard Kerr, jumped out of the passenger-side door and sprinted back towards the dealership.
Online reports initially suggested that Onfroy's uncle was the man sitting in the passenger seat. However, that information was incorrect.

Suspects
Dedrick Devonshay Williams (22), Michael Boatwright (22), and Trayvon Newsome (20) were all found guilty of the premeditated murder of XXXTentacion.
The three men are now facing a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The fourth man, Robert Allen (22), was given a seven-year sentence after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for testimony against the other three co-defendants.
Investigators believe that it was Boatwright who opened fire on the rapper. Newsome is suspected of being the second gunman.
Allen testified that the four men followed Onfroy in their Dodge Journey SUV after he made a cash withdrawal from Bank of America. They then continued to keep the rapper under surveillance while he was inside RIVA Motorsports.
Security cameras inside the dealership captured Williams and Allen walking past Onfroy while he was speaking to a salesman.
The two men had been sent in to confirm the rapper's identity. After confirming that he was inside the dealership, they proceeded to purchase ski masks.
Surveillance
Surveillance footage from RIVA Motorsports shows XXXTentacion looking at motorcycles.
Williams and Allen were recorded walking by the rapper while he was talking to a salesman. Onfroy's friend, Leonard Kerr, was also visible in the background.
Judging by older photographs, Onfroy was a regular visitor to the dealership.
Initially, three of the men were reluctant to go through with the robbery, as they were aware that Williams and Allen had been captured by the store's surveillance cameras.
However, they decided to stick to their plan after Williams accused them of being scared.
In that fateful moment, it seems as though they foolishly allowed their egos to get the better of them.
