*Shortly after news of an arrest in the XXXTentacion murder case, TMZ reports that police have three more arrest warrants issued in the case.
As previously reported, Dedrick D. Williams was taken into custody Wednesday night in South Florida for first-degree murder.
A court clerk tells TMZ, there are two other arrest warrants that have been signed by a judge, bringing the total number of suspects to three.
The rapper was shot and killed in his car outside a motorcycle shop in Pompano Beach. One of the killers allegedly stole XXX’s Louis Vuitton bag, leading police to believe the killing was a robbery gone wrong. XXXTentacion’s family, however, believes he was the victim of a targeted hit.
Meanwhile, an elderly couple in Southwest Florida has been getting death threats and frightening visits from the late rapper’s fans after a rumor circulating on Instagram declared that XXXTentacion’s suspected killer stayed at their address.
According to Page Six, one person showed up with a pizza and tried posing as a delivery guy in an attempt to ambush the supposed shooter. “Of course, we did not order this pizza,” explained Laurie Bernard, the Cape Coral homeowner who is in her 70s.
She told WINK News on Wednesday that her family got a call about 15 minutes later, informing them of the rumors on social media.
“I was very nervous — and I still am,” Bernard said.
The man who tried to deliver the pizza was identified Wednesday by cops as 20-year-old Jesse Gonzalez, also of Cape Coral. He allegedly showed up around 11 p.m. Monday — just hours after X’s death — and then two more times on Tuesday.
Police said Gonzalez was confronted by residents in Bernard’s gated community at one point. He told them he was “looking for someone who killed his friend,” according to the police report, which was obtained by the Naples Daily News.
The cops were called and Gonzalez was arrested for loitering and prowling. He was reportedly spotted using a social media app on his phone while outside Bernard’s home, though it’s unclear which one.
“I refuse to be forced out of my house because of people who threaten me,” the woman told WINK. “If they were smart enough to get the address, look at our ages — 73 and 76. We can walk, [but] that’s about it. We’re not going out to try and kill anybody.”
Cops in Cape Coral have been keeping watch over Bernard’s home and neighborhood as a result of the online threats and visits. They’ve also been posting statements on social media, informing users of the false rumors.
“Internet circulation of an address being attributed to a possible Broward County homicide suspect is INACCURATE, and the possible suspect has NO KNOWN CONNECTIONS to Cape Coral or Lee County,” officials said. “Due to the large number of online threats of violence toward the suspect (and thus toward this inaccurate Cape Coral address), both the Cape Coral Police Department and Lee County Sheriff’s Office have placed officers in the area/neighborhood of the inaccurate address as a safety measure for those in the area.”
Police added, “Once more for emphasis and to anyone with the ill-advised idea of coming to an inaccurate location to do anyone harm: The Cape Coral Police Department is stressing today that internet circulation of an address being attributed to a possible Broward County homicide suspect is INACCURATE, and the possible suspect has NO KNOWN CONNECTIONS to Cape Coral or Lee County.”
