On June 18, 2018, after leaving RIVA motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida in his car, Onfroy was stopped by two masked men who robbed him at gun point.

He was charged with dangerous and depraved first-degree murder, robbery with a firearm, and operating a vehicle without a valid driver's license.

[13] The trial of Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams began on February 7, 2023, after ten days of jury selection, nearly five years after the death of Jahseh Onfroy.

She gave an overview of the state's case, that the three defendants, along with Allen, tracked and targeted Onfroy and that surveillance video, among other evidence, will prove it.

He alleged that Broward County authorities rushed the investigation, and that Boatwright took some "very stupid" photos with the stolen money, but that he was not the murderer.

Newsome's attorney, George Reres, similarly claimed that his client was not there, and Williams's attorney, Mauricio Padilla, alleged that authorities did not investigate the possibility that rapper Drake, whom Onfroy had feuded with, was involved, and similarly to Kimok, accused authorities of rushing the investigation.

[15] February 8, 2023, second day of the trial, featured further testimony from Kerr and further display of surveillance footage.

Allen stated that he had been closest with Dedrick Williams out of the three defendants, and had been friends with him for about five years and hung out almost every day.

Boatwright and Newsome then told Allen and Williams that they should go into RIVA Motorsports to confirm that it was actually Onfroy.

Allen stated that he initially told the others that the robbery was not a good idea because he and Williams had already been on surveillance at RIVA Motorsports.

Allen stated that Boatwright and Newsome were chosen to be the gunmen due to the fact that he and Williams were already on surveillance footage.

[22] February 10, 2023, the fourth day of the trial, mainly consisted of cross-examination of Allen by defense attorneys.

Boatwright's attorney additionally attempted to impeach Allen as a state witness, but was denied by the trial judge.

Barbieux's testimony gained attention on social media due to the perceived strange mannerisms he displayed, commonly interrupting the attorneys.

[29][30] Nicole Ihnat, a forensic DNA analyst from the Broward County crime laboratory testified for the prosecution on February 28, 2023.

[31] During the third day of the trial, Allen and a prison officer alleged witness intimidation against Trayvon Newsome.

[32][33] February 9, 2023, the third day of the trial, mainly featured Robert Allen confirming and corroborating information and details about the murder that the prosecution had present.

[citation needed] Rapper Drake was also ordered to testify on February 27, and could be charged with contempt of court if he did not appear.

[18][19] February 14, 2023, the sixth day of the trial, included testimony from Robert Allen regarding conspiracy theories brought up by defense attorneys that rapper Drake had ordered the murder of Jahseh Onfroy.

[17] Lead prosecutor Pascale Achille used her closing argument to overview the main evidence against the three defendants.

Among the evidence overviewed were: In order to prove the premeditation element of the first-degree murder charges that the defendants faced, Achille sat in silence for eight minutes and 35 seconds, the amount of time the defendants waited in the vehicle for Onfroy, in order to give the jury a concept of the time in which they had to think about carrying out the murder.

Padilla began by claiming that he believed eyewitness Scott Barbieux was not sober during his testimony, and therefore was not reliable.

He also brought up debunked conspiracy theories regarding the involvement of rapper Drake and rap group Migos.

[35] Boatwright's lawyer, Joseph Kimok, used his closing statement to again accuse authorities of rushing the investigation, and said that Robert Allen was not credible.

She stated to Onfroy's murderers, "I heard the death penalty is off the table, however, whatever time is given and whichever hole you are sent, I hope it is hell and you rot there.

And the joy that he brought to as many fans and followers throughout the world ... His memory should not be that moment that we're here for today ... His life was greater than that.

And that he lives on through the music that he left and the love that's felt in the hearts of all those who followed him and adored him, and that can't die.

So please take some solace from that and know that he has left a mark on this earth that cannot be stolen or murdered, because it will continue forever.Trayvon Newsome and Dedrick Williams were sentenced by trial judge Michael A. Usan to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
