Authorities charged Boatwright, Williams, and Newsome with murdering XXXTentacion in a robbery. Robert Allen, a fourth individual, pled guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the late rapper’s death.
Allen testified in the case of Boatwright, Williams, and Newsome. Allen identified Boatwright as the shooter and Newsome as the thief of a Louis Vuitton bag holding $50,000 in cash.
Authorities displayed security video of the heist, which showed two masked individuals confronting XXXTentacion before the deadly rounds were fired. Allen said Williams was the getaway driver.
