Three men found guilty of the fatal 2018 shooting of rapper XXXTentacion have been sentenced to life in prison by a Florida judge.
The convicted killers – Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams – were also found guilty of armed robbery during the trial.
Robert Allen, the fourth man arrested in connection with the murder, pled guilty to second-degree murder and is awaiting sentencing.
The 20-year-old rapper was shot and killed in June 2018 outside a South Florida motorcycle dealership during what prosecutors say was a robbery.

The three killers were accused of shooting the rapper while he was in his vehicle and then fleeing the scene with a Louis Vuitton bag and $50,000 in cash.
Surveillance footage from inside and outside the dealership, as well as cellphone videos showing the killers flashing $100 bills shortly after the shooting, were used as evidence during the trial.
Allen, who was arrested in connection to the killing, pled guilty to second-degree murder last year and agreed to testify against Boatwright, Newsome, and Williams.
XXXTentacion’s death was a shocking loss for the rap community and his fans still mourn his passing to this day. The verdict for his killers comes following eight days of deliberations by a Florida jury.
