Three men have been sentenced to life in prison for killing US rapper XXXTentacion during a robbery. The star was shot outside a Florida motorcycle shop while being robbed of $50,000 in cash in 2018. The controversial chart-topping 20-year-old rapper quickly rose to fame with two consecutive hit albums. Michael Boatwright, 28, Dedrick Williams, 26, and Trayvon Newsome, 24, were found guilty of first-degree murder and armed robbery last month. They will have no chance for parole or early release. Broward County judge Michael Usan told them: “You’ll spend every hour and every day and every week and every year of your life in that cell. “And one day, they’ll come and open up that cell in the morning and you will have passed on, and only on that day you would’ve served your sentence.” Prosecutors linked the rapper’s killers to the shooting through surveillance video and phone footage of the men flashing handfuls of $100 notes hours after the ambush. Footage showed XXXTentacion – real name Jahseh Onfroy – leaving Riva Motorsports with a friend when an SUV vehicle swerved in front of him and blocked his BMW. Two masked gunmen could be seen confronting the rapper at the driver’s window, with one shooting him repeatedly. They then grabbed a Louis Vuitton bag containing cash XXXTentacion had just withdrawn from the bank, and got back into the SUV and sped away. The rapper was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.(BBC)…[+]
