TL;DR

Three men have been found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2018 killing of rapper XXXTentacion during a robbery in Florida. Michael Boatwright and Trayvon Newsome were the gunmen, with Boatwright firing the fatal shot during a struggle over money. Dedrick Williams was the getaway driver and mastermind behind the robbery.
