Hours after being shot and found with “no pulse” near his hometown, rapper XXXtentaction has been pronounced dead by Broward County Sheriffs. He was 20-years-old.
XXX, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was said to be on the 3600 block of N. Dixie Highway in Deerfield Beach, South Florida, near a motorcycle shop, which he spent the early afternoon shopping for a bike. A gunman reportedly walked up to his BMW i8 and fired rounds, before making an escape.
According to dispatch audio the suspects were two African-American males wearing hoodies and the shooter wore a red ski mask. They were said to flee the scene in a black Dodge Journey with tinted windows, although other reports say it was a Chevy Tahoe.
X was rushed shortly after to Broward Health North as a trauma patient and pronounced dead shortly after.
The Florida rapper had been awaiting trial for alleged domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend. His debut album ‘?’ debuted at No. 1 back in March and he was apparently changing his life around for the better. Prayers up.
Hip-hop has reacted to the news on Twitter. See what J. Cole, Kanye West, Tyga, and others said.
This got me fucked up. RIP X. Enormous talent and limitless potential and a strong desire to be a better person. God bless his family, friends and fans.
