The shooting of rapper XXXTentacion was captured on surveillance video, which was aired to the public for the first time Thursday during a court hearing in Broward County, Florida.
The footage, obtained by WPLG Local 10, shows two men following the late 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, walking into RIVA Motorsport in Deerfield. Later, XXXTentacion’s BMW is stopped by two assailants, suspected to be Michael Boatwright and Trayvon Newsome, who wield guns as they try to rob him of a Louis Vuitton bag.
The rapper struggled with Boatwright and Newsome before they allegedly shot him point-blank. One of the suspects entered the passenger side of XXXTentacion’s car before fleeing the scene. They left with the bag and $50,000 cash.
Prosecutors played the video during a discovery and bail hearing for Robert Allen, who is one of four suspects charged with the June murder of the rapper. The four men are Boatwright, Newsome, Dedrick Williams and Allen.
Allen will remain behind bars after the judge that he should be held without bond, WPLG reported.
The Florida State Attorney’s Office told Page Six on Friday they would not be releasing the footage wide until discovery finished.
