Authorities have made an arrest in connection with the recent home invasion of rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, a 19-year-old named Pedro Rodriguez is facing multiple charges, including armed home invasion robbery, false imprisonment, grand theft, and possession of marijuana with intent to sell or deliver. This incident took place last month while 6ix9ine was not at home.
The invasion occurred when four men reportedly held 6ix9ine’s mother at gunpoint. Law enforcement officials indicated that the suspects exploited the rapper’s absence during a livestream event with popular social media personality Jack Doherty. Video footage captured the suspects entering the residence through the garage, where they searched for car keys and cash before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.
While Rodriguez is the first suspect to be arrested, authorities have stated that their investigation is ongoing and additional suspects may still be at large. As the case unfolds, 6ix9ine continues to navigate a separate set of legal issues, including an impending return to prison for probation violations.
In a social media post following the invasion, 6ix9ine expressed his outrage over the incident, emphasizing the vulnerability of his family. “Yesterday, they allowed me to leave [house arrest] for work,” he stated. “People saw that I was on livestream with Jack Doherty. They took that opportunity to do some cowardly act.” He further criticized the suspects for targeting his mother, highlighting her age and the circumstances surrounding the invasion.
As the legal proceedings develop, both 6ix9ine and the authorities may provide further updates regarding the home invasion case and its implications for the rapper’s ongoing legal troubles. The arrest of Rodriguez marks a significant step in addressing the violent crime that has shaken the community and the artist’s family.
