).

XXXTentacion, real name Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was  in Miami, Florida in June 2018.

Boatwright, Williams and Newsome all originally pleaded not-guilty to charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery. A fourth codefendant, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder charges in August 2022 and there were reports that a plea deal was taken by Allen in the hope of reducing his sentence by co-operating with law enforcement.

During the trial Allen testified that the three men had planned to commit robberies that day and went to the motorcycle shop to buy a mask, but they spotted XXXTentacion and decided to target him.

The case was built around surveillance footage taken inside and outside of Riva Motorsports, plus phone videos that showed the trio with money that was allegedly stolen.

Cohen, said: “It is both unreasonable and oppressive to subpoena an out of state party who has not been mentioned in any reports, any investigation, or referenced to have any involvement in this matter. To mandate that he appear for deposition for something that he very clearly has no relevant knowledge of is unreasonable.”

Since XXXtentacion’s death, a number of posthumous releases have been shared, with the album

released in late 2019.

A feature-length documentary, titled , was also released last year on Hulu in the US. The documentary charts the late rapper’s ascent on SoundCloud, his struggles with  and his history of domestic abuse charges. In 2018, he  in a secret recording.
