AceShowbiz - Slain rapper XXXTENTACION's funeral is to be held at a hockey stadium.
The 20-year-old, born Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, was shot in his car outside the RIVA Motorsports dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida last Monday, June 18.
Police were called to the scene, where XXXTentacion was found slumped over in his car, without a pulse. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The controversial hip-hop star will be laid to rest on Wednesday, June 27, at the BB&T Center, the home venue for the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers, attorney J. David Bogenschutz has confirmed to People.com. The service will also include an open-casket viewing.
Officers from Broward County Sheriff's Office took Dedrick D. Williams into custody on Wednesday, and he has been booked on charges of first-degree murder in connection with the killing.
He appeared in court on Thursday, where the judge ordered he be held without bond.
According to an arrest warrant obtained by The Blast, officials believe the murder was "premeditated" by Williams, and that a struggle took place before XXXTentacion was shot.
The 22-year-old allegedly followed the Sad! rapper around RIVA Motorsports while accompanied by another man, with the pair then going to their car in the parking lot and waiting for XXXTentacion to leave.
