An elderly couple in Southwest Florida falsely tied to the murder of rapper XXXTentacion’s death has been getting death threats and frightening visits from X’s fans.
“It’s very disturbing that people have access to personal information that quickly,” said homeowner Laurie Bernard said.
A 20-year old identified as Jesse Gonzalez was arrested for loitering and is accused of trying to deliver the Cape Coral family a pizza so as to assert revenge for a rappers murder. Bernard said they did not order the pizza.
A phone call alerted Bernard that her family’s home address had gone viral.
“We seem to be the unfortunate recipients of social media putting our address out as the home of a alleged murderer of a rapper,” Bernard said. “We are not.”
Bernard continued saying;
“Shame on you,” Bernard said. “Shame on you for arbitrarily just picking an address and just believing what’s posted.”
Law enforcement has to stand guard outside the elderly couple’s home as the threats continue.
“If they were smart enough to get the address, look at our ages. 73 and 76,” Bernard said. “We can walk, that’s about it. We’re not going out to try and kill anybody.”
