Florida Police Department have made an arrest in their investigation into the murder of US rapper XXXTentacion.
The 20-year-old rapper was shot in south Florida on Monday while leaving a motorcycle dealership. The rapper, who was facing domestic violence charges, was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Florida’s police spokeperson said Dedrick D. Williams, 22, was arrested on suspicion of committing first degree murder.
XXXTentacion’s lawyer, David Bogenschutz, said investigators believed the murder was a random robbery. Mr Bogenschutz said the rapper might have withdrawn cash to buy a new motorcycle.
In Los Angeles, over 100 fans turned Melrose Avenue into a mosh pit in celebration and mourning of XXXTentacion on Tuesday night. In a memorial service outside a Hollywood bike shop, fans filled the street and danced on rooftops shouted along with his songs.
