A brief struggle ensued, in which Boatwright is alleged to have taken Onfroy's Louis Vuitton bag and Newsome was alleged to have stolen Onfroy's chain. The SUV drove in front of Onfroy's car, blocking him in while Newsome and Boatwright are alleged to have exited the vehicle and demanded property from Onfroy. Half an hour later, Onfroy left the dealership, entered his black BMW i8 and began to drive away from the dealership. They are recorded coming into RIVA and buying two black masks. Security camera footage showed that suspects Robert Allen and Dedrick Williams then followed Onfroy inside the store, and walked right past Onfroy as he was browsing motorcycles. EDT, Onfroy arrived at RIVA Motorsports and entered with his uncle. According to the authorities, Williams spotted Onfroy's car and called the other suspects, saying that they should go into the dealership that Onfroy had entered to confirm that it was actually him. They determined Williams had been in a probation office the same time as Onfroy in January 2018, and likely recognized Onfroy's car the day of the murder. Investigators believe the murder was targeted and not random. After withdrawing money, he was followed by a dark-colored Dodge Journey SUV allegedly containing Dedrick Williams, Robert Allen, Michael Boatwright, and Trayvon Newsome. On June 18, 2018, Onfroy went to Bank of America to withdraw money before heading to RIVA Motorsports, an upscale seller of motorcycles and boats in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
