The domestic violence case against XXXTentacion has gotten even more serious.

TMZ reports that prosecutors have hit him with eight new felony charges, all different degrees of witness tampering and witness harassment, bringing the total to 15.

The 19-year old rapper, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was initially charged with domestic battery by strangulation, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and false imprisonment.

The new allegations stem from phone calls XXX made in October 2016, when he was initially arrested for allegedly beating his then ex-girlfriend.

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say XXX made numerous recorded phone calls while locked up. Evidence gathered from those calls led to the new charges.

Prosecutors believe he tried to coerce his ex into not testifying against him.

Because of this new information, a Miami-Dade County judge sent XXXTentacion to jail during a hearing Friday, December 15, after ruling he had violated his bond.

He's being held without bail and has no phone privileges. If convicted of all charges XXXTentacion faces decades in prison.

The police are one step closer to solving the homicide of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright after arresting his ex-wife, Sherra Wright.

Action News 5 reports that Wright, 46, was taken into custody by U.S Marshals in Riverside, California on Friday, December 15. She has been charged with being a fugitive of justice, first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. 

Police believe Wright conspired with 46-year-old Billy Turner to murder Lorenzen in 2010. Turner was arrested ten days prior and has pleaded not guilty. 

Lorenzen's body was found in a swampy field in suburban Memphis on July 28, 2010, 10 days after the 34-year-old was reported missing. He had been shot multiple times.

According to the indictment, Turner and Wright had previously attempted to kill Lorenzen outside of his Atlanta home sometime between April 1, 2010, and July 17, 2010. A third person who has not been indicted may have also been involved.

The 7-year old murder case had gone cold until police recently found the murder weapon in a lake.

Wright reportedly blew nearly a million dollars of her ex-husband’s life insurance money that was taken out just six months before Lorenzen’s death. 

Police are working to get her extradited back to Memphis. 

Lorenzen played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers in his 13-year career.

It's bad enough that authorities have yet to solve Tupac Shakur's 1996 homicide, but now there's news that law enforcement recovered the murder weapon, then lost it.

TMZ reports that producers of the A&E docu-series, "Who Killed Tupac?" discovered a police document detailing the chain of events.

In 1998, a Compton, California resident found a .40 caliber Glock in his backyard and reported it to police. The gun was was booked as found property on May 30, 1998.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department took control of Compton Police Department in 2000. During the transition 3,800 seized firearms, including the Glock were transferred to LASD.

In 2006, Deputy T. Brennan was working the case of The Notorious B.I.G.'s murder. While sifting through paperwork, Brennan noticed the address where the gun was found matched the home of the girlfriend of a Crip member Tupac had beef with.

Ballistics tests proved the weapon was used to kill the music icon.

A federal prosecutor assigned to the case decided not to send it to police in Las Vegas, where the murder took place, citing concerns "the discovery might alert potential conspirators."

The Las Vegas Police Department confirms the gun was never sent to them and now nobody seems to know where it is.
