Dedrick Williams, Michael Boatwright, and Trayvon Newsome, the killers of XXXTENTACION, have all been convicted to life in jail without the possibility of release.
According to NBC Miami, the three men convicted of murdering the rapper appeared in a Broward County, Florida courthouse on Thursday (April 6), when Judge Michael Usan handed down life sentences, which are required in the state.
The death penalty had not been sought by prosecutors. The three men will not be eligible for parole or early release based on good behavior.
At the sentence, the late rapper's manager, Solomon Sobande, made a statement on his behalf, as well as a gesture to XXXTENTACION's kid, who was born after his death.
“This is a loss we will never truly recover from,” he said. “We will never get to see Jahseh live to his full potential, we will never get to watch him grow old, we will never get to watch him be a father.”
The rapper was shot and died outside a motorcycle store in Florida on June 18, 2018. He was only 20 at the time. The intruders made off with $50,000 in cash hidden in a Louis Vuitton bag from which XXX had just extracted money.
Each of the three people involved in XXXTENTACION's murder trial were convicted guilty of first-degree murder in March, nearly five years after his death.
