Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams, the three men convicted of killing XXXTentacion, were sentenced to life in prison on Thursday (April 6). The fourth suspect, Robert Allen, has pled guilty to second-degree murder but has yet to be been sentenced.
During the sentencing on Thursday, X's manager, Solomon Sobande, read a statement on behalf of X's family. He told the courtroom, "This is a loss we will never truly recover from. 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 three men were found guilty of robbing and fatally shooting XXXTentacion in 2018, as they blocked off his car at Riva Motorsports, robbed him of his Louis Vuitton bag and $50,000 in cash. Circuit Judge Michael Usan addressed Michael Boatwright, who was found to have been the triggerman, telling him, "You turned a robbery into a murder. On that day, when you stood there and fired that weapon you ended five lives, including your own."
