A suspect has been arrested over the murder of the rapper XXXTentacion who was shot dead in Florida in June.
Dodge County sheriff’s deputies placed Robert Allen, of Fort Lauderdale, in a prison in the city of Eastman after members of the US Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested him on Wednesday, according to local news paper The Macon Telegraph.
“They got some information he was up in Eastman, possibly staying with his sister,” Deputy US Marshal John Edgar said.
Mr Allen – who is also known as “Big Rob” and “Fat Boy” – was captured on surveillance video minutes before XXXTentacion was robbed of $50,000 in cash in a Louis Vuitton bag and shot in June.
The 20-year-old rising young star – whose real name was Jaseh Onfroy – was fatally shot as he was leaving a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach.
