'Person of interest' sought in rapper XXXTentacion's murder
Sheriff's deputies in South Florida want to talk to a "person of interest" in the murder of rapper XXXTentacion.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (KABC) -- Sheriff's deputies in South Florida want to talk to a "person of interest" in the murder of XXXTentacion, a rising rap star who was killed last month.



Authorities are looking for Robert Allen, 22-years-old, who is also wanted on a felony warrant.



XXXTentacion, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was shot and killed last month outside a Fort Lauderdale motorcycle dealership.



Detectives say an SUV blocked his luxury sports car and two masked men confronted the 20-year-old rapper during what appeared to be an attempted robbery.



Dedrick Williams, 22-years-old, was arrested days after Onfroy's death in connection to the murder.



He faces murder charges but has not yet entered a plea.
