A successful US rapper who attracted controversy after multiple accusations of domestic violence has been shot dead in Florida.

XXXTentacion, real name Jahsen Onfroy, was shot dead just before 4pm (2000 GMT) Monday after two suspects approached him as he was leaving a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, the Broward County sheriff’s office said.

“At least one of the suspects fired a gun striking Onfroy. Both of the suspects fled in a dark-colour SUV. Investigators say it appears to be a possible robbery,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement posted to its Twitter account.

The 20-year-old was taken to Broward Health North hospital where he was pronounced dead.
