The 20-year-old rapper, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was murdered in broad daylight while leaving a Miami motorcycle dealership.
A suspect in Onfroy’s murder was apprehended yesterday, and police now believe the shooting was part of a random robbery attempt.

We now know that at the time of his passing, Onfroy was dating a different woman.
And while her identity remains a mystery, it was revealed today that the woman is pregnant with the rapper’s child.
The news was confirmed by Onfroy’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, who posted the above photo of a sonogram on her Instagram page.
“He left us a final gift,” Bernard captioned the image.
It is not known if Onfroy was aware that his girlfriend was expecting at the time he was gunned down.
The response from fans has been one of joy tinged with melancholy.
While it’s wonderful that his mother and girlfriend will be able to enjoy this “final gift” from the late artist, it’s tragic that the child will grow up knowing his father only through photos and the memories of others.

Investigators believe two gunmen approached Onfroy’s car and opened fire before fleeing.
On Wednesday, 22-year-old Dedrick Devonshay Williams was apprehended.
He’s being held without bond, but it’s believed that he has not given away any information regarding the identity of the other assailant.
“Homicide detectives are seeking additional suspects,” the sheriff’s office said Thursday.
“The investigation continues. Updates will be provided as they become available.”
