Rapper XXXTentacion’s accused killers planned a robbery, prosecutors say. With $50K in a bag, he became their target

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Prosecutors on Tuesday outlined the case against three of the four men accused of killing rising rap star XXXTentacion in an ambush outside a Deerfield Beach motorcycle dealership in 2018.

Michael Boatwright, Dedrick Williams and Trayvon Newsome each face a sentence of life in prison if found guilty of murdering the rapper, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, outside Riva Motorsports. The victim, 20, had been shopping for motorbikes and carrying $50,000 in cash in a Louis Vuitton satchel.

The fourth man, Robert Allen, pleaded guilty last year and agreed to testify against the other three, and both sides made it clear his testimony would be pivotal. They disagreed on whether it would be credible.
