Rapper XXXTentacion has passed away after a fatal shooting in South Florida, according to a report by TMZ.
Broward Co. Sheriff’s Dept. confirmed that the 20-year-old was pronounced dead at the hospital where he was transported from the scene.
Eyewitnesses told the publication that they heard multiple shots fired, after which the rapper “appeared lifeless with no pulse.”
XXX was reportedly shopping for motorcycles in South Florida and, as he was leaving the motorcycle dealer, a gunman ran up to his vehicle and shot him. Witnesses told cops a Louis Vuitton bag was taken from his vehicle.
According to the dispatch call, the suspects are described as two black males wearing hoodies, and the shooter was wearing a red mask.
The car has been confirmed as a black Dodge Journey, with dark tint and black wheels.
The controversial rapper (real name: Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy) was awaiting trial on more than a dozen felony charges and allegations of domestic violence including his alleged beating of a girlfriend while pregnant.
The charges resulted in numerous media outlets calling for the music industry to not “co-sign,” or endorse, his music.
