XXXTentacion murder trial: 3 men found guilty of shooting rapper over designer bag filled with $50,000

• Rapper XXXTentacion was shot and killed leaving a motorcycle shop in 2018.
• Three men were found guilty on Monday of fatally shooting him during a robbery.

Three men were found guilty on Monday of first-degree murder in the 2018 death of up-and-coming rapper XXXTentacion. Trayvon Newsome, 24; Dedrick Williams, 26; and Michael Boatright, 28, face mandatory life sentences.

The jury came to its decision after more than a week of deliberations.

Mauricio Padilla, an attorney for Williams, told Insider on Monday that he respects the jury's decision, but does not believe his client got a fair trial.

"It is obvious from the days the jury was deliberating that they had questions and I only wish I would have been able to properly defend my client," Padilla said.

Attorneys for the two other men did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.

A spokesperson for the Broward State Attorney's Office said: "We thank the jurors for their service on this case and we respect their verdict of guilty on all counts. We also thanks Assistant State Attorneys Pascale Achille and Alixandra Buckelew for their dedication and hard work."

XXXTentacion, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was shot to death after leaving a motorcycle shop in Deerfield Beach, Florida, on June 18, 2018.

The rapper was a rising star in the music industry at the time of his death, with his debut album "17" peaking at number two on the Billboard 200.

In the days and weeks after the killing, four men were arrested and charged with murder and armed robbery in connection to Onfroy's death.

One of the four men, 26-year-old Robert Allen, pleaded guilty six months before the trial to second-degree murder, and later testified against the three others.

Allen said on the witness stand that he and the three other men planned to rob unsuspecting victims on the day Onfroy was killed, according to People.

Before setting out on their crime spree, they stopped by RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach to buy masks, and they happened upon Onfroy, Allen testified.

Allen said that he and Williams recognized Onfroy when they entered the store, and returned to the car to come up with a plan to rob the rapper.

Allen testified that he expressed to the group that he didn't think robbing the rapper was "a good idea" due to the fact that they were likely caught on surveillance footage in the store.

Surveillance footage of Williams in the store was one of the pieces of evidence used by prosecutors to tie the group to the crime, as well as cellphone data, according WPLG.

Prosecutors said that after Onfroy left the store and got in his vehicle, Williams cut him off, so that Onfroy had to come to a stop. Boatright and Newsome then confronted the rapper, shot him, and made off with a Louis Vuitton bag with $50,000 in it, prosecutors said, according to NBC Miami.

Later that night, Boatright and Newsome posed with several $100 bills in photos posted to social media, according to NBC Miami.

Defense attorneys for the three men accused in Onfroy's death tried to paint Allen as a liar and said detectives failed to investigate the rapper Drake for Onfroy's death, according to WPLG.

Onfroy once said on social media that if anyone tried to kill him, Drake will have been behind it. However, Onfroy later retracted that and prosecutors said there was no evidence tying Drake to the crime, according to WPLG. The judge eventually ruled that Drake would not have to testify in the case, according to NBC Miami.

Onfroy was a controversial figure in his lifetime, facing criticism for posting a disturbing music video preview clip showing him pretending to hang himself.

At the time of his death, he was also awaiting trial on accusations of beating his pregnant girlfriend. Onfroy had pleaded not guilt to the charges.
