A XXXTENTACION memorial held by fans in Los Angeles on Tuesday (June 19) turned rowdy as those in attendance jumped off rooftops, broke into sporadic moshing, and more.
Longtime HipHopDX contributor Eric Diep captured the mayhem on video and shared it to his Twitter account.
In his first post from the memorial, Diep wrote that fans “are about to shut down Melrose.”

From there, he shared video of fireworks being set off, a police helicopter arriving on the scene, and fans jumping off the roof of a building “for X.”

The scene in Los Angeles greatly contrasts that of a memorial held for X in Deerfield Beach, Florida, the place of his murder.
