A grand jury Wednesday indicted four men that were involved in the murder of rapper XXXTentacion, the Broward Sheriff's Office announced.

Dedrick Williams, 22, Michael Boatwright, 22, Trayvon Newsome, 20, and Robert Allen, 22, are charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery with a firearm, according to detectives.

XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Onfroy, was shot and killed on June 18 as he exited a Deerfield Beach business.

Investigators say Boatwright and Newsome were the two armed suspects who confronted XXXTentacion.

Williams was arrested on June 20, while Boatwright was arrested on July 5 on unrelated drug charges. He was later arrested in connection with first-degree murder while in jail, investigators said.

Allen and Newsome are still at large.
