Witnesses say they heard multiple shots fired and video has emerged on social media of what appears to be the musician in his car in the aftermath of the shooting.
The 20-year-old rapper was shopping for motorcycles in South Florida and, as he was leaving the motorcycle dealer, a gunman ran up to his vehicle and shot him.

XXX was in legal bother as he was awaiting trial for domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend. He was also accused of witness tampering.
The performer was under house arrest but a judge allowed him out so that he could tour.
His recent album debuted at number one in the US charts.
