Florida fans of slain rapper XXXTentacion can pay respect to their very polarizing hero at an open-casket public memorial at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida (via Billboard).
The ceremony — which is happening about 20 miles from where the rapper was gunned down last Monday — is set for Wednesday, June 27, but cameras and cell phones will not be allowed.

"Fan requests for a public viewing and memorial were overwhelming, we decided to have the memorial at one of [South] Florida's largest stadiums so we can accommodate everyone," A|K|W PR's Aishah White said. "Fans will be able to view XXXTentacion's body and pay final respects, we hope this will help fans find closure and begin the healing process."
The 20-year-old died on June 18 after being fatally shot during an armed robber. On Thursday, the Broward Sheriff’s Office arrested 22-year-old Dedrick Devonshay Williams and charged him with murder.
