One month after armed intruders stormed rapper 6ix9ine’s Florida home and held his mother hostage, a suspect has now been identified and taken into custody.
Nineteen-year-old Pedro Rodriguez has been arrested and charged with armed home invasion robbery with a firearm, false imprisonment, grand theft, and possession of marijuana with intent to sell or deliver. Authorities say Rodriguez did not act alone, and additional suspects are still being pursued as the investigation remains ongoing.
Security footage obtained by TMZ shows the suspects entering the property through the garage, with one of them grabbing 6ix9ine’s mother as she cried out for help.
Following the incident, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office shared a statement saying
“Road Patrol deputies were dispatched to the above address for a home invasion robbery/burglary in progress. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with several individuals inside the residence who reported that four armed, masked men entered the home with handguns. 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.”
