The trial of three men accused of fatally shooting the rapper XXXTentacion is underway with a family friend describing the ambush robbery that led to the shooting
Leonard Kerr makes a motion as if he is holding a gun as he demonstrates how a man ordered him at gunpoint not to get out of the car he was in with emerging rapper XXXTentacion, during the XXXTentacion murder trial at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023. XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Onfroy, 20, was killed during a robbery outside of Riva Motorsports in Pompano Beach in 2018, allegedly by defendants Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams.
“If I run, I can get shot, but I can live. If I sit....” Kerr said, his voicing trailing off until he stopped to regain his composure. During opening statements earlier Tuesday, the jurors heard divergent theories about the shooting. A robbery gone awry, according to prosecutors. According to the defense, it could have been a feud between XXXTentacion and the megastar Drake, but they say detectives refused to investigate that possibility.
To varying degrees, the defendants are linked to the shooting by surveillance video and cellphone locations, and all are implicated through Allen's expected testimony, Achille said. Then there are the social media photos of some of the men flashing the money posted that night, she said. They said that with the rapper's slaying coming just four months after the slaying of 17 people at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, the Broward Sheriff's Office was under extreme political pressure to solve the case quickly.
