XXXTentacion’s Mom Reacts to Guilty Verdict in XXX’s Murder Case

XXXTentacion’s family can now find peace approximately five years after his death, since three of the guys involved for his death were found guilty in court today. The late rapper’s mother has spoken out about the decision on social media.

Monday (March 20), a jury convicted Michael Boatwright, Dedrick Williams, and Trayvon Newsome guilty of first-degree murder and armed robbery in the death of the rapper on June 18, 2018.

XXXTentacion’s mother affirmed her joy on Instagram shortly after the verdict was announced. On her Instagram Story, she posted a black-and-white photo of XXXTentacion with the caption, “You finally got justice Jah.”

She revealed the shirt she wore in the courtroom when the judgement was read in a second selfie. The graphic depicts a big image of the late rapper. “I made sure you were in the room,” she typed above the picture.

In a trial that began in January, a South Florida jury took almost 8 days to convict Michael Boatwright, Dedrick Williams, and Trayvon Newsome of robbing and murdering XXXTentacion outside RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Robert Allen, a fourth guy arrested in connection with the incident, pled guilty to second-degree murder last summer and testified in the trial. When sentenced at a later date, Boatwright, Williams, and Newsome face life in prison.
