<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB">After a long, contentious trial and more than a week of deliberations last month, all three men accused of killing rapper XXXTentacion were found guilty of first-degree murder and armed robbery, <a href="https://www.local10.com/news/local/2023/04/06/3-men-convicted-of-killing-rapper-xxxtentacion-to-be-sentenced-to-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Local 10</strong></a> reports.</p>
<p>In June 2018, the young rapper, whose real name is Jahseh Onfroy, was ambushed after leaving Riva Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida. A blue Dodge Journey cut off his car when two masked men jumped out of the SUV and stole a bag full of cash before fatally shooting him multiple times.</p>
<p>Authorities claim Newsome and Boatwright were the masked men, and Williams was driving while another man,<strong> Robert Allen</strong>, sat in the back seat.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Defense Had Attempted To Undermine Allen&#8217;s Testimony, Attempted To Link Drake To The Crime</h3>
<p>Allen pleaded to second-degree murder and testified on behalf of the state back in June.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, all three are expected to appeal the guilty verdicts in the coming years.</p>

<p class="">The defense attempted to undermine Allen’s testimony. Furthermore, investigators failed to follow up on a feud with fellow rapper Drake. However, prosecutors said there was no evidence to link him to XXXTentacion’s murder, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/judge-grants-drakes-motion-to-avoid-deposition/?_gl=1*1gk73n0*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTA0NDA5OTE5MS4xNjc5MzM0Mzc0*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY3OTMzNDM3My4xLjAuMTY3OTMzNDM3My4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><em>The Shade Room</em></strong></a> reported last month.</p>
<p>Just last month, Drake’s attorney filed a motion to overrule the subpoena request, which the judge ultimately granted.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">XXXTentacion: A Brief History Of A Life And Career Cut Short</h3>
<p>XXXTentacion became a breakout star in 2017 after he released the “Look at Me” track on SoundCloud. The single eventually climbed to No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100.</p>
<p>A few months later, he parlayed that success into a $6 million record deal with Capital Music Group. XXXTentacion gained a massive fan base for his music, openly dealing with depression and loneliness.</p>
<p>However, the rapper’s short career was not without controversy. According to court records, he was arrested in 2016 on multiple charges, including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, false imprisonment, and witness tampering.</p>
