Revenge rapper XXXTentacion was pronounced dead around 2PM PST on Monday after being shot while leaving a Miami motorcycle dealership.
Broward Co. Sheriff's Department confirmed the grave news about the 20-year-old Florida native (born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy) to TMZ.
The Piper High School drop-out had been shopping for motorcycles when a "gunman driving a black Dodge Journey ran up to his vehicle and shot him."
A Louis Vuitton bag was reportedly stolen from his vehicle as well, the Daily Mail reported.
Dispatch audio previously revealed XXXTentacion was "comatose" and classified as a "Level 1 trauma patient" when rushed to the hospital.
"Witnesses say they heard multiple shots fired," a source told the site.
"The incident was a possible drive-by."
Curiously, the hip-hop star Insta-storied that he was 'planning a charity event for this weekend in Florida' around 11:45AM PST.
The Look at Me rapper was jailed in December due to a 2016 arrest for aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, and he spent six months in prison for a prior 2015 armed home invasion charge - according to Pitchfork.
