6ix9ine was not home when masked men broke into the house
When police arrived, they learned that four masked men had entered the home armed with handguns. 6ix9ine's mother was reportedly held at gunpoint outside while the suspects searched the property for cash. Officers searched the property with the help of a K-9 unit but were unable to find the intruders. Police believe he suspect may have fled in a vehicle before authorities arrived, as reported by The Independent.
The artist, born Daniel Hernandez, was not at teh residence during the break-in. He was reportedly on a livestream with YouTuber Jack Doherty at the time, the same influencer who was arrested on drug-related charges over the weekend.
6ix9ine pleaded guilty to possession of drugs
The home invasion follows Hernandez's recent legal troubles. In July, the 29-year-old pleaded guilty to a drug possession charge, a violation of his supervised release tied to a prior federal prison sentence for racketeering and conspiracy offenses, as reported by The Independent.
Hernandez previously revealed that his Miami home was raided on March 12, when police discovered cocaine and ecstasy in a bedroom cabinet. He later pleaded guilty, and prosecutors agreed to drop two of the charges stemming from that incident as part of a deal.
