While many people mourn the death of XXXTENTACION, there's a lot of questions fans are looking for. The rapper was shot in broad daylight as he left a dealership. Shortly after he was shot, he was pronounced dead. At this point, it's unclear what the motivation was behind his murder or who did it. X's lawyer, David Bogenschutz, spoke out for the first time about his client's death.

Everyone's still trying to reel the news of XXXTENTACION's death. It's been over 24 hours since the XXXTENTACION's death and there isn't much information pertaining to what happened. However, Bogenshutz believes the killing was a violent result of "a random robbery."

"I think he went to the bank before it happened,” Bogenschutz told Sun-Sentinel. “I think the determination was that he wanted to buy a motorcycle. But [detectives] aren’t discounting any theory.”

There's been fan-made theories floating around on the internet today. However, Broward County Sheriff's Office are still looking for leads. They put a message out on Twitter that says "anonymous tips that lead to an arrest are eligible for a reward of up to $3000."

Following X's death, South Florida rappers, Soldier Kidd and Soldier Jojo, were accused on social media of being involved in X's murder. Both rappers took to social media to deny the accusations
