Twenty-four hours after rapper XXXTentacion was shot and killed in Florida, the police released further statements about the incident. According to a report in Variety, the police has said that there were no updates regarding suspects or a motive for the murder and the investigation is underway.

At least one of the suspects shot XXXTentacion and they both fled in an SUV. The police also said that the incident was a possible robbery and the assailants were seen removing a bag from the rapper’s car after the shooting. XXXTentacion, real name Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, had many allegations of violent crime in his past. At the time of his death, XXXTentacion was awaiting trial for the alleged assault on his pregnant girlfriend, Geneva Ayala, and for several counts of witness-tampering. The report by Variety also includes the first reactions from XXXTentacion’s ex-girlfriend and alleged assault victim. It quotes her saying, “It’s disgusting that people are speaking for me,” she wrote. “I don’t care if no one cared about me however many months ago, I didn’t lose my life. He did. It’s permanent. I’m still here. Like how do you think that makes me feel? Everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy? No, i’m broken.” Many other rappers, music producers and artists also reacted to XXX’s unexpected death.
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.
