XXXTentacion's Killer Finally Breaks His Silence After His Release

As he's grabbing the bag, shots are fired. >> Who shoots the shots that are fired? >> Michael Bull. >> Robert Allen, one of the four men convicted in the 2018 murder of XXTentashen, was released from prison in October 2023 after taking a plea deal in testifying against his codefendants. Before and during his release, he gave police, prosecutors, and a jury the most complete account anyone from inside that Dodge Journey has ever provided. Here's what Robert Allen said and what it cost everyone involved. The robbery. On June 18th, 2018, Yasay Dwayne Ricardo Enroy, the rapper known as XXX10, withdrew approximately $50,000 in cash from a Bank of America branch in South Florida. He put the money in a Louis Vuitton bag. Then he drove to Reva Motorsports, a motorcycle and watercraft dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida. His stepun Leonard Kerr was in the passenger seat of his black BMW i8. Androy was 20 years old. He was looking at motorcycles. He did not come back. Earlier that year, Enroy had been making headlines both for his music and for the legal proceedings that surrounded him. His debut album had just dropped. His fan base was following his every move online. He was the kind of person whose car model you could identify from an Instagram post whose daily movements were public enough that a man at a probation office months earlier had recognized him and filed the memory away for later. At that same time, four men from Fort Lauderdale were in a rented black Dodge Journey SUV. They had been driving around South Florida with guns, masks, and a plan to rob whoever they could find. The four were Dedric Devincshe Williams, Michael Cheryl Boatright, Trayvon Demarcus Newsome, and Robert Allen. IV. Williams was 22. Boatright was 22. Allan was 22. Newsome was the youngest, 20, the same age as the man they were about to kill. Williams was the one they called Chucky. He had prior arrests for grand theft, auto, burglary, assault, and cocaine possession. He was on probation at the time and worked as a tattoo artist. He had four children. He was also the one driving the SUV that day and the one who recognized the BMW i8 in the rival parking lot. He had seen Enroy before at a probation office and recognized his car from Instagram. Williams pointed it out to the group. He pulled up Onroy's Instagram on his phone and matched the car in the photo to the car in the lot. He had an exit pass. That was how the group confirmed their target before anyone got out of the car. The vehicle they were driving had been rented the day before. It was Dietrich Williams' idea to get a car for robbing people. They used a woman named Tony Robinson because Allan was the only one with a valid driver's license and needed to be the one to drive. >> So tell us about that. Whose idea was it to rent the vehicle? >> You have to speak up nice and loud. >> Danger. >> The plan, as Allan would later testify, was general and unstructured. Drive around and rob someone with Ubers or anyone they spotted. They had not set out that morning to find XXXTentacion. They had set out to find anyone. All four of them expected to be armed with firearms. Everyone was supposed to wear a mask. >> Did at any point all four of you expect to be armed with a firearm? >> Yes. >> Okay. And what was the purpose of having a mask or mask plural? >> Allan had a Springfield 40 caliber handgun. Newsome had a Smith and Wesson 38 revolver. Williams had his own 38 revolver, one with a distinctive hammer, bow, and trigger. Boatright had a 22 caliber shortbarreled rifle. When the Dodge Journey pulled up on Dixie Highway and Williams spotted the BMW, the decision to rob Enroy was not stated out loud. It didn't need to be. Williams told Allen and Newsome to go inside and confirm the identity. Boatright and Newsome told Allen to go in with Williams to hear it from him directly. Allan went in. He walked pastroy who was inside browsing with Kerr. Allan believed didn't notice him. Williams bought two black neoprene masks at the counter while they were inside. They walked back out to the SUV. I think if I'm not mistaken all three of them have it >> in the car. Allan said it was not a good idea. He told the group that he and Williams had already been captured on the store surveillance. Boatright and Newsome hesitated. Then Williams asked if they were scared. Boatright said something to the effect of, "All right, we're going to get him." Newsome agreed. Allan refused to get out. He was already on camera. Boatright and Newsome put on masks and hoodies. Williams would stay at the wheel. The Dodge Journey moved across the street and parked. They waited 8 minutes and 35 seconds. That weight was captured on surveillance video. At trial, the lead prosecutor, Pascala Chile, played the footage in silence for the jury for the full duration, 8 minutes and 35 seconds of stillness and waiting to show them what premeditation looks like in real time. When Enroy and Kerr came out of the dealership and got into the BMW, Williams moved. He pulled the Dodge Journey forward and blocked the BMW's exit. Boatright and Newsome got out fast. Boatright came to the driver's side window with the rifle. >> Newsome do after he grabbed the bag. >> He pointed it directly at Onro. Nuome came around to the same side, grabbing it onroy's gold chain. He couldn't get it off, then ran around the car to the passenger side and entered the BMW. He grabbed the Louis Vuitton bag containing the $50,000. Kerr in the passenger seat was ordered to stay put. He ran instead down the road away from the car. He survived. Newsome came back with the bag. The robbery was complete. >> As he's grabbing the bag, shots are fired. >> Who shoots the shots that are fired? >> Michael Bull. >> Where does he shoot him from? What side of the car? >> So, if Triple X is in the driver's seat and Michael Boltright is in the driver's side, the shots are coming onto Triple X's left side or right side. Which side? >> Yes. >> Then three shots entered Onroy's neck. Two bullets remained inside his body, one fragmented. The gunshots clipped the upper lobe of his left lung and grazed his aorta. Onro was unarmed. He had not reached for anything. The bag was already gone when the shots were fired. He was pronounced dead at Broward Health North Hospital at 4:51 p.m. EDT. The four men fled in the Dodge Journey. They crashed it during the getaway and eventually made their way back to Allen's house on 17th Court. Williams caught an Uber separately. At the house, they opened the bag. >> Okay. So, what was in the bag? >> Money. >> How much? >> They split the cash into four piles. Williams, Boat Wright, and Newsome each took $15,000. Allen, who had stayed in the car, received $5,000. Boatright argued Allen hadn't participated enough to deserve an equal share. The guns left with Boat Wright and Newsome. The Louis Vuitton bag, the bank slips, the key fob to Onroy's car. All of it left with them. On the drive back from Reva, they had learned via their phones that Onroy had died. >> Was not in shock besides Chucky. Chucky was not in shock. Not what I said. Chucky was a new show. Can't he didn't really care. >> That same day and the day after, the group's phones captured what came next. Cell phone videos posted to social media showed Williams, Boatright, and Newsome fanning stacks of $100 bills, dancing, and smiling. Hours after the shooting, Dedric Williams was arrested 48 hours later during a traffic stop in Pompano Beach. He was wearing orange sandals and a white tank top, the same outfit visible in the Reva security footage and in his own Instagram post from the day. He had not changed his clothes. He had not taken down his posts. Boatright was arrested July 5th on separate drug charges. The murder warrant was served to him in jail 5 days later on July 10th. Allen was arrested in Georgia on July 26th, more than a month after the crime. He had traveled there with boatright before the two split off in separate directions. Trayvon Nuome turned himself in at his attorney's office on August 7th. He was the last of the four to be taken into custody. All four were charged with firstdegree premeditated murder and armed robbery with a firearm. They were indicted by a grand jury in July 2018. The case was on camera from the moment Williams walked into the dealership to the moment the SUV disappeared down the road. Detectives had the group buying masks. They had them waiting in the lot. They had the ambush. They had the getaway. What they needed the inside story of who decided what, who said what, and why a robbery that was already over still ended with a 20-year-old shot dead in his seat was going to come from someone inside the car. That person was Robert Allen. The testimony. Robert Allen was on paper the least violent figure in that Dodge journey. He had stayed in the car. He had taken the smaller share of the money. He had even said out loud before the robbery happened that it was a bad idea. But he had also confirmed onroy's identity inside the store, helped plan the logistics of the vehicle rental, taken the $5,000, and said nothing to police for weeks. None of that made him innocent, and the prosecutors knew it. what it made him was useful because the story he could tell if he told it fully and truthfully was exactly the kind of story that could seal three first-degree murder convictions. Getting him to tell it fully and truthfully was the work of a detective named John Cercio, who went by [ __ ] and an interrogation room in Broward County that Allan would later describe as making his claustrophobia set in. The interrogation has since been posted online and circulated widely. It begins with the formalities of any recorded statement, a swearin, introductions, the presence of Allen's attorney. Then Cercio, methodical and patient, starts from the beginning. >> The easiest way to start talking about the case you're under arrest for, which is XXX's case. Let's talk about the car, the Dodge Journey. >> What follows over the next half hour is a slow excavation. Allan hedges it first, using I think and I guess when asked for specifics. Kersio calls him on it repeatedly. He points out that small lies make the big things hard to believe. He tells Allan that fingerprints are already on the car, that camera footage already puts him inside the Driftwood apartment complex getting into the journey, that Chucky Williams has already told a version of events. Bit by bit, Allan starts filling in the picture. He describes how Williams organized the rental, how Tony Robinson's name went on the app because the others couldn't. He describes arriving at Chucky's house before going to Reva, the group watching TV, the conversation about masks. He describes coming up Dixie Highway toward the dealership when Williams first spotted the BMW and said it was him. He describes being told to go inside and confirm it. >> All right. What kind of gun did Boide have? >> Something like real small. >> Okay. Like that. Like a rifle or a handgun? >> Rifle. >> He names the weapons. He places the guns at Chucky's house. He confirms who had what. He describes the moment in the parking lot when William said to Robroy of his jewelry, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and the conversation in the car where he said it was not a good idea and nobody listened. >> Okay, what happens is when they see him cut him off, >> he describes the return to his house, the money in stacks of 10,000, the split, the immediate aftermath, driving back from Riva with the reality of what had just happened. >> Okay, so you guys had to talk about something. >> It was basically me talking to him. I'm just I'm going to go to jail for the rest of my life. They're like, "You'll be all right. It's not me. You're not going a not going to happen to you." >> The interrogation gave investigators the bones of a confession. The plea deal nearly 4 years later would require Allen to give them the flesh. On August 12th, 2022, Allen pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder and armed robbery with a firearm. The first degree premeditated murder charge, the one carrying mandatory life, was dropped in exchange for his full cooperation and testimony at the trial of Williams, Boatright, and Newsome. Allan understood the terms clearly. He would get to go home one day. The others would not. The joint trial opened on February 7th, 2023 in Broward County Circuit Court before Judge Michael A. Eusan. Allan took the stand on February 8th and remained there through February 13th, 4 days of testimony. He gave prosecutors the frame that the surveillance footage by itself could not provide. The cameras had shown two masked figures near a car. Allan could tell the jury whose faces were behind those masks. He described the planning in the car, the decision to wait, the way Williams had directed the whole operation from the driver's seat. He described Boat Wright and Newsome arming themselves, the move to block the BMW, the speed with which Boatright and Newsome got out. That was the prosecution's framing and opening statements. Allen's testimony was built to confirm it detail by detail. Boatright at the driver's side window with the rifle. Newsome going for the chain and then the bag. Newsome returning to the SUV, the bag secured and then the shots fired without any provocation whatsoever. Allan said directly as he's grabbing the bag, shots are fired. He named Michael Boatright as the shooter. He said Boatright fired two or three times. He saidroy was on the left side of the vehicle. He said the whole confrontation lasted approximately 3 minutes. He testified that on the drive away from Riva, the group learned Enfroy had died. Boatright turned the music up. Defense attorneys spent days dismantling him. They called him a 12-time felon. They called him a career liar motivated by self-preservation. They accused him of altering his story between the 2018 interrogation and the 2023 trial to match what prosecutors needed. The attorney for Boatright was particularly aggressive, pressing Allen on every inconsistency, every hedge, every I think and I guess from years earlier. Allan did not collapse. He admitted he wanted a lighter sentence. He admitted he was not a reliable person by any standard measure. But he also said this, "Well, I definitely would like to get a lighter sentence. Yes, but I definitely have remorse. I mean, I sit and look at the stand and see people crying, and I'm trying to do my best to get Onroy's family and friends and his fans justice. The defense also had to contend with the fact that every specific thing Allan said could be checked against physical evidence, and it matched. DNA extracted from the black neoprene masks purchased inside Riva and used during the robbery matched Dedric Williams with a statistical probability rarer than one in 831 Octillian. Boat Wright's DNA on a second mass produced odds rarer than one in 929 non-illion. These numbers were provided by forensic analyst Nicole Ahnat of the Broward County Crime Lab. Boat Wright's phone had pinged at Reva at the exact time of the shooting. It had Bluetooth paired with the rented Dodge Journey. A box of 22 caliber bullets recovered from Boat Wright's home was missing exactly four rounds, the same count as the shots fired at Enroy. A separate 22 caliber bullet was found at Williams' home. Boat Wright's fingerprints were recovered from the exterior driver's door of Onroy's BMW. Boat Wright's phone also showed he had searched both Xitex Tentacion and Accessory to Murder in the aftermath of the shooting. Williams' then girlfriend, Tanel Carter, testified independently. She told the jury that Williams had confessed to her that he had orchestrated the robbery and murder and that he had then tried to get her to sign a false affidavit claiming he was not the getaway driver. She refused. Meanwhile, in the holding cells during the trial, a Broward sheriff's deputy observed Trayvon Nuome yelling at Allen during transport, calling him a police, a sellout, and accusing him of working with the white man. Allan testified about the intimidation attempt. It became one of the trial's most discussed moments. Defense teams tried to introduce a conspiracy theory involving rapper Drake, pointing to a years old public feud between Drake and Onroy as a potential alternate motive. Investigators and witnesses dismissed it entirely. Allen stated explicitly that no one else was involved and that the crime was a spontaneous robbery with no external orchestration. During deliberations, jurors specifically requested access to nearly 1/200 text messages from the defendant's phones. They deliberated for more than 27 hours across 8 days, long enough that speculation about a hung jury began circulating online. Legal commentators pointed to the complexity of the case. three defendants, three separate attorneys, and a body of evidence so dense that jurors had to work through it one thread at a time. The near 1/200 texts alone represented hours of reading. The extended deliberations were not a sign of weakness in the prosecution's case. They were a sign that the jury took the responsibility seriously. Then on March 20th, 2023, the jury returned to the courtroom. Guilty. All three defendants, all counts, first-degree murder, armed robbery with a firearm. As the verdict was read, Michael Boatright turned toward Anroy's family in the gallery and blew a kiss. The release sentencing day was April 6th, 2023. Three men stood before Judge Michael A. Usan and waited to hear the number of years remaining in their lives, a number that turned out for all three to be the same, every single one. For Trayvon Nuome and Dedric Williams, the sentence was life in prison without the possibility of parole. mandatory, non-negotiable, handed down with the quiet procedural efficiency of a verdict whose math had already been settled. For Michael Boatright, the one who had fired the shots, the one who had blew a kiss at the dead man's family, it was heavier still. Two consecutive life sentences without parole, plus a consecutive 30 years. Judge us looked at Boat Wright directly and said, "You turned a robbery into a murder. On that day when you stood there and fired that weapon, you didn't just end one life. You effectively ended five lives, including your own. You will spend the rest of your life in prison in a cell that has a stainless steel slab attached to the wall. That's your bed. And next to it is a stainless steel sink and a stainless steel toilet. And one day they'll come and open up that cell in the morning and you'll have passed on. And only on that day will you have served your sentence. Boatright sat through it and showed nothing. 6 weeks later on May 17th, 2023, Robert Allen stood in that same courtroom for his own sentencing. What the room heard from him was the thing the other three had never provided in any meaningful form. acknowledgement of what had been done directed at the people it had been done to. He told the judge, "If I have to die in prison, then so be it. I know the risk I was taking. Let justice be served. Please forgive me." Judge Usan noted that Allan had shown what he described as genuine remorse, a quality conspicuously absent from the three men sentenced before him. The judge also cited the work Allen had done beyond this case. He had provided information that led to probable cause in an unrelated ZMF gang cold case murder, and prosecutors had told the court he had put his own life at risk by cooperating against gang affiliates. Enfroy's family had been consulted before the plea was finalized. They accepted the arrangement. Allen was sentenced to 7 years in prison with credit for approximately 4 years, 9 months, and 21 days already served in pre-trial detention. The math left him with roughly 2 years to serve. In practice, the sentence had almost already been served. The time spent waiting for the trial to happen had counted as the sentence itself. On October 26th, 2023, Robert Allen the Fulther was released from prison. He walked out to 20 years of probation, a sealed home address, weekly phone check-ins with his probation officer, mandatory in-person meetings every 6 weeks and a standing court order prohibiting any contact with Anroy's family. He was not permitted to resurface publicly. He was not permitted to become a story. For a while, he didn't. The world for the most part moved on. Then came October 2024 from inside Martin Correctional Institution in Florida where Boatright was housed following his conviction. The shooter found a way to unlock his phone and access Instagram. What he posted was the same unguarded defiance he had shown in every other moment since the day he fired three shots into a 20-year-old's neck. "I'm not sorry for nothing I did," he added that he was not an evil person. The post spread immediately. Onroy's mother publicly responded. Fans who had been following the case since 2018 saw and remembered everything all over again. The clip circulated on YouTube, Tik Tok, Twitter, and Instagram, reaching people who had never heard of Boatright and people who had never forgotten him. The irony of the post that the same man whose own phone had betrayed him through searches and location pings and Bluetooth connections to a getaway vehicle was now once again using a phone to broadcast his state of mind from inside a prison was not lost on anyone. One month later, Dedric Williams made a different kind of move. In November 2024, his attorneys filed an appeal brief arguing that Drake, the Toronto rapper, whose public feud with Onroy, had been extensively discussed during the original trial, should be reconsidered as an alternate suspect. The brief pointed to an Instagram post and cited the old enmity between the two artists as grounds for reasonable doubt. Drake had already been subpoenaed during the original trial. He had already been excused by the judge. Investigators had explicitly ruled out any celebrity involvement throughout the proceedings. Allan had stated under oath that no one outside the group was involved. The appeal produced no new evidence. As of early 2026, the convictions have not been overturned and Williams remains at Wakula Correctional Institution serving life without parole. Boatright's own direct appeal filed as Michael Boatright versus state of Florida case number 4D2n23975 was denied by the Florida District Court of Appeal in 2025. The court rejected arguments about severance from codefendants and challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence. The convictions stand. The sentences stand. Robert Allen in the meantime had been building something quieter. In September 2025, the court granted him permission to travel across the United States for work as a licensed CDL truck driver. His address remains sealed. His probation remains active. No violations have been reported. No new charges have been filed. He is somewhere on a road in the United States on probation until 2043 driving. In March 2026, the story went viral again, not because anything new had happened, but because the internet had found it again. Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, threads posts, and XT threads recirculated mugsh shot and old news clips under headlines reading xxxantation murder. Suspect Robert Allen released after 5 years. Many of the posts placed the release in 2025. Some framed it as a brand new development. Allen had in fact been released in October 2023, more than 2 years before the posts began circulating. The outrage the post generated was real. The timeline was wrong. But the underlying question the viral wave was really asking, the one that doesn't have a clean legal answer, was the same question it has always been. Is what Allen received actually justice? The prosecutorial answer is coherent and documented. Lead prosecutor Pascal Achilles said it plainly in closing arguments. Plans hatched in hell do not have angels for witnesses. Co-conspirator testimony comes from co-conspirators. Without Allen, the masks might still be anonymous. The roles might still be disputed. and three men might still be in the kind of legal limbo that erodess cases over time. The deal was the mechanism by which the other three received the sentences they received. The human answer runs differently. Enfroy was 20 years old, shopping for motorcycles with $50,000 in a bag he had legally withdrawn from his own bank account. Four men recognized his car, confirmed his identity, bought masks in his presence, waited 8 minutes and 35 seconds in a parking lot, blocked his exit, robbed him at gunpoint, and then shot him three times after the robbery was already over. One of those four men, the one who said it was a bad idea and took the money anyway, is driving a commercial truck somewhere in the United States today. The other three will die in cells with stainless steel beds. Robert Allen broke his silence in a police interrogation room. He broke it again on a witness stand. He broke it one final time in a sentencing hearing before a judge who accepted his remorse as sincere. The three men who said nothing, admitted nothing, and showed nothing in every public moment available to them, the verdict, the sentencing, the prison Instagram post, are now paying for the silence they chose to keep. That is what speaking cost Allen. That is what silence cost everyone else. That brings us to the end of this video. For more interesting videos like this, click on the cars on your
