According to reports, the late rapper XXXTentacion was allegedly targeted by thieves before his murder. Law enforcement authorities have stated that the motive behind XXXTentacion's killing was an attempted robbery, suggesting that the rapper was the intended victim.

XXXTentacion, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was shot during a robbery outside a motorcycle dealership in Florida on June 18, 2018. The 20-year-old artist was leaving the establishment when two men approached his car and shot him multiple times before escaping with a Louis Vuitton bag containing a large amount of cash. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.

The new information regarding the motive behind XXXTentacion's murder comes from court testimony given by the lead detective in the case, Michael Greer. According to Greer, one of the two suspects charged with the rapper's murder had previously engaged in surveillance of XXXTentacion while he was shopping. This suggests that the suspects were specifically targeting the rapper and had prior knowledge of his whereabouts and activities.

During the hearing, it was revealed that the investigation into XXXTentacion's killing involved several surveillance videos, cell phone records, and witness testimonies. The evidence gathered allegedly connects the two suspects to the crime scene. The prosecution stated that they have critical evidence "supportive of the indictments."

The police have identified the two suspects charged with the murder as Michael Boatwright and Trayvon Newsome.
