Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida Home Invaded by Armed Men, Mother Held at Gunpoint

The rapper has asked a federal judge to postpone this week’s sentencing to relocate his family for safety.

Overview

  • The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says four masked intruders with handguns entered the Lake Worth home, held the 60-year-old mother outside, and demanded cash and car keys.
  • Deputies conducted a K-9 search but found no suspects, and investigators believe the men fled in a vehicle; no arrests have been announced.
  • Surveillance footage published by TMZ shows the confrontation with the mother and suspects moving through the residence.
  • Tekashi 6ix9ine was not home during the break-in, as he was livestreaming with YouTuber Jack Doherty, and he later condemned the attack on his mother.
  • His attorney filed to delay the Nov. 20 sentencing with prosecutors’ consent to allow the family to relocate, and the judge had not ruled as of Wednesday.
