Jury selection has begun in the trial of three men accused of fatally shooting Florida rapper #XXXTentacion in 2018 after robbing him of a Louis Vuitton bag stuffed with $50,000 in cash.
The rapper, whose real name is #JahseyOnfroy, had just emerged from a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach and climbed into the driver’s seat of a BMW with a friend when an SUV pulled up and blocked their path.
Surveillance video of the ambush shows two hooded men jumping out of the vehicle and rushing to confront Onfroy, who was 20 at the time.
The rapper’s friend jumps out of the car during the stickup before the assailants grab the money-stuffed satchel, blast Onfroy several times in the neck and speed off.
Shooting suspect Michael Boatwright, 28, and his accused accomplices, Dedrick Williams, 26, and Trayvon Newsome, 24, could all get life if convicted.
