Rapper XXXTentacion attends the BET Hip Hop Awards 2017 at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater on October 6, 2017 in Miami Beach, Florida.

Police are getting closer to finding the other two suspects in XXXTENTACION's murder.

Police are still searching for the suspects involved with XXXTENTACION's murder. The rapper was shot and killed after he left a upscale motorcycle store. The police arrested and charged Dedrick D. Williams last week with first degree murder. However, police are still in search of two more suspects. Earlier today, it was reported that the two suspects are on the run and federal investigators are trying to track them down. However, investigators on the case have named a second person of interest in the murder earlier today.

TMZ reports that The Broward County Sheriff's Office have named a second person of interest in XXXTENTACION's murder. Police are searching for Robert Allen who is possibly connected to X's death. They say he was spotted on surveillance footage at the same motorcycle store that X was shopping at before he was shot and killed. However, it's unclear how he's connected to X's murder.

As police continue their hunt for the murder suspects, XXXTENTACION's mother is holding an open-casket memorial for the rapper today. From 12-6 p.m., fans are invited to say their final goodbye to the rapper at the BB&T Center in Florida. The rapper's body will be on display in an open-casket on a stage but there won't be any sort of service. X's actual funeral will be held privately.
