In one recent post online, Dedrick Williams wrote, “Some of these n*ggas will tell God on Jesus 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️.” The pages have now filled up with angry comments from people who were fans of XXXTentacion. Many videos on both pages showed Dedrick Williams getting tattoos.

NBC Miami was the first to report that Williams’ arrest was for the death of XXXTentacion, who was slain on June 18 outside of Riva Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

The two had similar ages. The rapper was 20-years-old. His alleged shooter is 22. Both had criminal histories relating to domestic violence accusations. But, unlike Williams, XXXTentacion’s  music was taking off in the months before he was shot and killed.

A video also circulated showing XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, learning about the arrest from detectives, according to TMZ.

The video published by @StreetWatcherzX showed people cheering at the vigil. The caption for the video read, “#XXXTentacion mom receives a text message from the detective that they caught the shooter.” XXXTentacion was close to his mother, Cleopatra Bernard, although he was also raised by his grandmother.

Dedrick Williams’ brother also posted a video and statement online proclaiming his brother’s innocence after news of the arrest broke. The Facebook post read, “🗣️ON MY #Z 💯❗️ YALL WONT FRAME MY Z.O.M.B.I.E ON 🌍I Won’t These Crackers Trick My Brother 26 ZHOT😤😤😤 Chucky Williams Ain’t Kill No One 😇🙏🙏🙏💯❗️ #1k🖕💯🇭🇹🇯🇲🇦🇬❗️.”

Court records in Broward County, Florida describe the accused shooter as 5′ 4″ and 185 pounds. They show a picture of a man repeatedly in trouble but who sometimes escaped it with acquittals. He was accused most recently of felony grand theft auto, court records show, and he was on felony probation. The grand theft auto charges were the only convictions on his record, though, although a domestic violence injunction was filed against him in 2014. He was rearrested in that case on a “Warrant Violation of Community Control,” the court records say. He received a term of probation.

He was also accused of cocaine possession and possessing a weapon as a felon. There is a 2017 letter in that court file from his fiancee, although there is no disposition listed in the court records for that case.

According to Broward County court records, Dedrick Williams was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

There might be more than one accused shooter. Although only Dedrick Williams has been named by authorities so far, TMZ is reporting that arrest warrants were issued for three suspects in connection with X’s death. It’s believed the other two suspects aren’t in custody yet, the entertainment site reported, and it’s not clear what role they allegedly played in the murder.

In a statement, the Broward County Sheriff’s Department said XXXTentacion “was leaving RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach shortly before 4 p.m. when he was approached by two armed suspects.” The statement continued: “At least one of the suspects fired a gun striking Onfroy. Both of the suspects fled in a dark-color SUV. Investigators say it appears to be a possible robbery. Onfroy was transported to Broward Health North where he was pronounced dead. The investigation continues. Anyone with information is urged to contact BSO homicide detectives Walt Foster or John Curcio at 954-321-4210 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously at 954-493-TIPS.”

TMZ says a Louis Vuitton bag was removed from the rapper’s car.

      Thank you libtards for turning our urban cities into poverty crime stricken ghettos and blessing us with this fine art form known as gangster rap.

        The only thing worse than gangster rap is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and no one ever does anything about those guys. :smile:
