Judge Michael Usan read each of them their sentences and emphasized that they will never leave prison alive. The three listened silently, offering no reaction.

On June 18, 2018, an SUV cut off XXXTentacion's car -- two people got out and shot him. They stole a bag containing $50,000 in cash and fled.

Prosecutors said it was Boatwright and Newsome who got out of the car, but Boatwright who shot the rapper. Williams was accused of being the getaway driver and mastermind of the attack.

A fourth suspect, 26-year-old Robert Allen, testified against the others after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery.

XXXTentacion's career was just taking off when he was killed, winning fans over with works filled with open and dark verse about his suicidal thoughts.

XXXTentacion had hit number one on the album chart in 2018 with "?" but his success proved controversial due to his own history of violence. He had been awaiting trial on charges of beating his former girlfriend while she was pregnant.
