An affiliate of the late XXXTENTACION was reportedly arrested for murder on Monday (February 9).
According to NBC 6 South Florida, Lynwood Walker III — also known as Tankhead666 — was apprehended in another state in connection to the fatal shooting of local rapper and former University of Central Florida football player Jose Trimaine Jose, who was killed last week.
The shooting took place near a popular Wynwood gastropub around 2 p.m. local time on Friday (February 7) and sent one other man to the hospital in critical condition, resulting in an hour-long search for the suspect.
An arrest warrant was issued for Walker following the incident. He was eventually brought back to Miami-Dade county for questioning where remains in custody.
Jose, 28, was a Miami Central High School recruit and cornerback for two seasons at the University of Central Florida. He also went by the rap moniker Fat Papi Escobars.
A motive for Jose’s murder remains unclear. An investigation is ongoing.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
Walker belongs to XXXTENTACION’s Members Only collective and considered himself X’s “enforcer” despite not getting paid to do his security. In January, he told VladTV he was willing to die for the slain South Florida rapper.
Check out the interview below.
Say what you will but I watched that VLAD interview when it first came out. I was incredibly surprised as to how well spoken and insightful Tankhead came across. What a shame if this is what it seems on the surface. What a shame…
and to kill your own Manager at that…
Well spoken and insightful? Wow not really.
Why the hell do y’all give people like this attention. This people are killers and then you interview them like they have something to offer to the society. SMH. Dudes like him are str8 outcasts and should be treated as such. Not embraced. Damn!!!
A dude with triple 6 in his name murdered someone. So surprised
None of you pussies believe in innocent before proven guilty? Big mouths on ye over the internet
He didn’t play cornerback. Ya”ll cant even get that info right. You have to see Jose Jose to see why dude ain’t fight him.
this guy looks like a winner
“Jose Trimaine Jose” – So they only had like two names to choose from? Why not make it “Jose Jose Jose” while you’re at it.
These guys are caught up in this kind of life. And actually making it a real, type of life. Sad, man.
“he din du nuf fin he a gud boi” -All black community in unison!
Nah, Only a certain group of folks you (and others) like to focus on. You guys don’t care to see the others who’re outraged about things like this themselves. Then again, you don’t truly care anyway.
Who wanna f*** me in my bum chika wa wa
