A popular young rapper, Jahseh Onfroy popularly known as XXXTentacion, has been shot dead in south Florida.
The 20-year-old rapper was shot and killed outside a motorsports store in Deerfield Beach, Fla., on Monday afternoon after two armed suspects approached him.
“At least one of the suspects fired a gun and struck the rapper before fleeing in a dark-colored S.U.V. Mr. Onfroy was transported to a local hospital. Just after 5:30 p.m., the authorities said that he had been pronounced dead.
“There were multiple shots fired as the victim was called a trauma patient. Witnesses allegedly told police a Louis Vuitton bag was taken from Onfroy’s vehicle by the two black men wearing hoodies who shot at him,” the local Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed to TMZ.
Kanye West reacting to his death on his Twitter page said the rapper inspired him.
“Rest in peace, I never told you how much you inspired me when you were here thank you for existing,” he wrote.
