XXXTentacion, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, died on June 18 after he was shot outside Riva Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
A dark-colored SUV blocked the rapper’s BMW i8, preventing him from leaving the motorcycle shop, according to The Associated Press.
Two masked men got out of the SUV to rob the 20-year-old rapper, but a struggle occurred and he was shot multiple times by one or more gunmen.
