U.S. rapper XXXTentacion was shot dead near Miami on Monday, police say.
The Broward County sheriff’s office said in a statement that an adult male who was shot near Miami on Monday afternoon and taken to a hospital was later pronounced dead.
“The adult male victim has been confirmed as 20 year old Jahseh Onfroy [sic], aka rapper #XXXTentacion,” the sheriff’s department said later in a Twitter posting.
According to investigators, XXXTentacion was leaving RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Fla. at around 4 p.m. Deerfield Beach is about 40 miles north of Miami.
That’s when two armed suspects approached him and shot him, in a possible robbery, police say.
The suspects fled in a dark-coloured SUV.
