Authorities in Florida say they're searching for two suspects in the fatal shooting.
XXXTentacion had been at RIVA Motorsports checking out inventory, the sheriff's office said. He was in a black luxury vehicle and preparing to leave when two armed suspects approached him. At least one of them fired, and then both suspects fled the scene in a dark SUV.
Investigators say the shooting may have been a possible robbery.

Xxxtentacion began to gain mainstream attention in early 2017 after uploading his single, "Look at Me!" to Soundcloud. His album "17" landed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and in March, XXXTentacion’s album “?” debuted at No. 1.

But the Florida native was a controversial figure, and had many run-ins with the law. He was currently awaiting trial on charges including domestic battery, aggravated battery and false imprisonment against his pregnant girlfriend stemming from 2016.
According to the "Miami New Times," his ex Geneva Ayala's depositions "detail a pattern of regular, torturous abuse that summer, with daily verbal attacks and physical incidents every three or four days."
| According to Ayala's statement, he beat her at times, choked her, broke clothes hangers on her legs, threatened to chop off her hair or cut out her tongue, pressed knives or scissors to her face, and held her head under water in their bathroom while promising to drown her.
Reaction from the music community came pouring in following news of Xxxtentacion's death.
| I'm not saying he deserved it, but I don't feel an ounce of sympathy tbh
| Nigger got what it deserved.
| He kinda had it coming
| But still, sucks to die in that age
| rip my nigga extension
| RIP
Never was into his music tho, but it's still sad that someone dies.
| is >>322786 being fucking racist?>>323345 at the same time, sounds like he abused his partner so i wouldn't feel sympathy, i can hardly imagine empathy for someone like that
| it was bound to happen. dude made enemies wherever he went. 20 is too young to go but he was a mountainous asshole
| No sympathy.
| i just don't really give a fuck lmao
| >>323718 It's always saddening to me whenever a person dies. Partly because I'm briefly reminded of life's impermanence. But feeling sad to a point I shed my tears? That's different for every death, I suppose.
| wow karma finally caught up to him
| I killed x
| Soldier Kidd Is being accused all over twitter and he just got doxed, Why won't they just let the police do their shit
| For everyone that is unaware of this X. He was still in court for abusing his ex girlfriend but, in the time of this court stuff he was still seeing his girl trying to patch things up which led his gf to drop some charges. X was in a horrible state, trying to take his life so many times but recently he was on a different route of recovering and helping others around him. It is such a shame he had to pass. I genuinely love his music and think hes the best artist of this generation

Not certain but there are multiple sources that say the girl was a gold digger and the charges all fake but not certain though
| >>325563 I could be the biggest piece of human trash and I'd still have people to kiss my ass this hard

The man could have its flaws but a important thing to do is separate the work from the man and he did had talent you can't take that away from him
| I truly believe the world is lesser with his loss
| Nah scum. Not sad about it at all.
| Now people are saying his ex made up the kidnapping/beating/attempted rape+murder allegations. How retarded can people be omfg
| I'm glad that here on /mu/ we can talk about him being a shit person though. Anywhere else and you'd be chewed the fuck out by fans.
| I don't know who this guy is but I live in Florida and the fact that he got straight murdered makes me feel unsafe here.
| >>331337 If it makes you feel better, he was somewhat huge (and controversial) so his murder was probably a hit.
| The best title ever
| EXXXISTINCT
Sorry but that was the first thing that came to my head.
All jokes aside, im not too surpisred about the death of him. Always had a hunch he was part of some shady dealings with some organisation.
Im not a fan of sad rap, and my friend listens to this stuff like its his life. He is not in a very good state at this point but I feel that the music helped to elevate the negaive feelings he had been going through as of late.
| Give this person a beer
