XXXTENTACION’s mother Cleopatra Bernard got the news that 22-year-old Dedrick D. Williams had been arrested for her son’s murder at a memorial event held at her home on Wednesday (June 20), where she announced the arrest to those in attendance.
In a video captured of the event, Bernard says, “I just got the text just now that one of the detectives arrested him. That means they got him.”

That same evening, Bernard had a tweet sent out from X’s Twitter account confirming the charity event he’d planned for this weekend was expected to happen.
“Charity event is still happening this Sunday in Florida,” she wrote. “this was Jahseh’s final wish. More details soon. Posted on behalf of his mother for any wondering.”
X’s close friend and collaborator Ski Mask The Slump God has also volunteered to help throw the charity event.
Earlier this week, Bernard joined hundreds of people at a vigil for her late son outside of RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
Memorials for the slain rapper have continued around the country. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
The controversial artist was shot and killed in what his attorney believes was a “random robbery” on Monday (June 18) in broad daylight.
According to a tweet from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, detectives are searching for additional suspects.
TMZ reports there have been three arrest warrants issued. A court clerk reportedly said there are two other arrest warrants that a judge has signed, but the two other suspects are still at large. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Williams is the first to be apprehended.
Got the white loved artist alleged killer in 2 days yet biggie n pac over 20yrs??!!! smh. shows you they couldve solved those cases if they wanted to
Yeah cuz pac and biggie wasnt “white loved”. Gtfoh with your racist thoughts beech.
Big difference is back then people didn’t snitch, regardless of the circumstances. Nowadays these kids snitch on themselves all over Instagram. Supposedly that’s how they caught this kid, he was bragging on social media or something.
Agreed why do you think they were the 1st two artists to hit it so big back then black people were barely 11% of the population caucasians were 70%+ you reach that audience you hit gold dumb fucker…. and FYI whoever hit big and pac were real pros with inside info from their homies for a set up or had government connections and back then surveliance equipment was a total joke now there are cameras and microphones everywhere you look its next to impossible to get away with murder today
Bro chill out, with the tech today and the amount of surveillance we are under, you’d be a fool to kill someone in broad daylight and expect not to get caught.
Ahhh 1 good thing about florida for these 3 fucks the death sentence is on the table
