AceShowbiz - XXXTentacion's friend Tankhead666 has been arrested for alleged murder. The Soundcloud rapper, whose real name is Lynwood Walker III, was allegedly involved in a deadly shooting in Wynwood last week.
Tankhead666, who is affiliated with the late star as a member of his Members Only music collective, was arrested in connection to the shooting of two men outside the popular gastropub Kush at 2003 N. Miami Ave. According to multiple law-enforcement sources, former University of Central Florida football player Jose Trimaine Jose and some friends headed to the restaurant on Friday afternoon, February 7 around 2 P.M., looking for someone who worked there.
The sources claim that when the restaurant employee stepped outside, he was beaten up and then shot by Tankhead666. The wounded worker then managed to grab a gun that fell out of Jose's bag and fired shots at Jose.
When Police arrived at the scene, they found two victims injured by gunshot wounds. The two men were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where 27-year-old Jose was declared dead due to his injuries. The other victim's identity has not been revealed, but he's said to be still in critical condition.
After the shooting, Tankhead666 fled Miami. Police identified him thanks to his distinct facial tattoos as the incident was captured on Kush surveillance footage. An arrest warrant was then issued for him and he was apprehended near the Florida state line. He has been returned to Miami-Dade County for arraignment. He is reportedly charged with attempted murder for firing at the restaurant worker, and second-degree felony murder for his friend's death.
Tankhead666 is best known for his track "Pick Your Poison" which is featured on XXXTentacion's "Members Only, Vol. 4" mixtape. He considered himself good friends with the "Sad!" hitmaker, who was shot to death in a robbery in June 2018.
