6ix9ine’s Mother Held Against Her Will During Florida Home Invasion: Report
6ix9ine’s Florida home was reportedly the target of a home invasion on Sunday night (Nov. 16).
According to TMZ, Tekashi’s mother was held against her will as four masked gunmen ransacked the residence while looking for keys to his cars and cash around the house.
Police officers responded to a robbery-in-progress call at 6ix9ine’s home, but by the time they arrived, the burglars were gone. However, they spoke with individuals inside as K-9 units searched the house.
“Road Patrol deputies were dispatched to the above address for a home invasion robbery/burglary in progress,” a Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office rep told Complex. “Upon arrival, deputies made contact with several individuals inside the residence who reported that four armed, masked men entered the home with handguns.”
The rep continued in a statement: “They stated that the homeowner’s mother was held physically outside while the remaining suspects ran inside and ransacked the property, the suspects asked for cash and car keys. A K-9 track and search of the residence was conducted with negative results, suspects possibly left in a vehicle prior to deputies arrival.”
At the time of the break-in, the “Gummo” rapper was apparently streaming with social media star Jack Doherty.
In other 6ix9ine news, federal prosecutors are looking to have Tekashi back behind bars with a recommended sentence of between three and nine months for drug possession and assault, both of which are probation violations.
The Brooklyn rapper (real name Daniel Hernandez) will be sentenced on Thursday (Nov. 20) by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer after pleading guilty to multiple violations of his supervised release. The probation is tied to 6ix9ine’s 2018 racketeering prosecution, which saw him testify against other members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
