When we heard XXXTentacion was shot and killed in a robbery, it sounded like he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A man named Dedrick D. Williams was reportedly arrested on a charge of murder without premeditation.
But according to TMZ, the arrest warrant specifically describes the murder as “premeditated” — though that does not necessarily mean the killers knew who XXXTentacion was or went looking for him…

As you’ve probably heard, the rapper was leaving a motorcycle dealership when an SUV pulled up and two masked gunmen got out of the passenger side.
The killing had previously been reported as a drive-by, but this report says there was a “brief struggle” before the shooting — and of course we’ve heard they grabbed a small bag from his car afterward. Were they demanding something from him?
And surveillance video reportedly shows the two men walking past the rapper in the dealership minutes before that — so it’s possible they targeted him not for who he was but for what they thought they could get off of him.
We’ll let you know if the much talked about case takes any more turns.
