Police are reportedly searching for a 22-year-old man named Robert Allen, whom they believe is connected to the fatal shooting, which occurred on Monday, June 18 in South Florida. Previously, on Wednesday, June 20, police arrested the 22-year-old Dedrick Devonshay Williams, booking him for first-degree murder. Following Williams' arrest, TMZ reported that a judge signed arrest warrants for two other suspects. XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, had been leaving a motorsports store in Deerfield Beach, Florida when he was approached by two armed suspects and shot, the Broward County Sheriff's Office has said. Detectives believe the shooting to have been a random robbery, according to Onfroy's lawyer. Today (June 27), there is a public memorial for Onfroy at Sunrise, Florida's BB&T Center. It includes an open-casket viewing. ### Artists In This Story ### Tags In This Story

Murder of XXXTentacion
Investigation.
Shortly following the announcement of Onfroy's death, Broward County Sheriff's Office offered a $3,000 bounty for any information leading to the arrest of any suspects. Originally, many fans of Onfroy's, numerous internet users and local residents suspected local Florida rappers Soldier Kidd and Soldier Jojo to be the killers of Onfroy due to several suspicious Instagram posts made by the pair with specific details that corroborated with witness reports, but these accusations were later dropped when Dedrick Williams and Michael Boatwright (the alleged shooter) were arrested. 
 On June 20, 2018, the Broward County Sheriff's Office arrested 22-year-old Dedrick Devonshay Williams in connection with Onfroy's murder. Williams was driving in his silver 2004 Honda before a traffic stop occurred. Williams was detained in the car chase that followed. Williams was identified by clothing he wore on June 18, which included orange sandals and a white tank top. The police matched images from security footage to recent pictures from Williams’ Instagram feed, which featured “the same or similar bright orange sandals”. He was also identified by employees who saw him enter RIVA Motorsports to buy a neoprene mask. After Williams' arrest, two more active warrants were issued.
