6ix9ine Home Invasion Suspect Charged With Kidnapping, Grand Larceny

A second suspect has been arrested in connection with the armed home invasion and robbery of 6ix9ine’s Florida residence, during which the rapper’s mother was held at gunpoint.

On Sunday (Feb. 1), Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that 18-year-old Sergio Andrade was taken into custody after a warrant was issued for his arrest in January, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the violent November 2025 break-in.

According to police records obtained by VIBE, Andrade is facing multiple felony charges, including home invasion with a firearm, false imprisonment/kidnapping, and grand larceny. He joins Pedro Rodriguez, another suspect in the case, who was apprehended in December 2025.

Both Andrade and Rodriguez are charged with several offenses, including Residential Robbery with a firearm, Kidnapping, Grand Theft over $20,000 but less than $100,000, and Selling a Schedule I Substance. A third suspect, who was captured on surveillance footage during the incident, remains at large.

Investigators allege that Andrade and Rodriguez ambushed 6ix9ine’s mother at gunpoint in the garage of the rapper’s Wellington, Florida home. Authorities say she was forced to remain outside while the suspects ransacked the residence and a Mercedes Sprinter van parked on the property before fleeing the scene.

Although 6ix9ine was not home at the time of the invasion, his brother and other family members were reportedly staying in a guest suite on the property during the incident.

Law enforcement officials say a combination of cell phone data and camera footage played a crucial role in identifying and tracking the suspects. The evidence allegedly showed their movements from 6ix9ine’s residence back to an apartment in West Palm Beach that police believe the men shared. Rodriguez was arrested during a SWAT raid on that apartment on December 19, roughly one month after the home invasion occurred.

During the raid, officers recovered several items believed to have been stolen from the home, including a pink Chanel purse, a black Dolce & Gabbana bag, and a Louis Vuitton Pochette. Police also seized a stolen Glock 19 equipped with an extended magazine that authorities believe was used during the robbery. In addition, clothing matching what the suspects were seen wearing in Google Nest surveillance footage from the home was found inside the apartment.

Among the items reported missing by 6ix9ine’s girlfriend were Van Cleef earrings, a diamond necklace, approximately $400 in cash, her driver’s license, and three credit cards.

The break-in took place while 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was serving a three-month federal sentence.

The rapper has faced a long string of legal troubles in recent years, including racketeering charges that led to a high-profile cooperation agreement with federal prosecutors, as well as subsequent arrests tied to assault allegations and supervised release violations.

He is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being taken back into federal custody for violating the terms of his supervised release.

As the case continues, authorities say efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend the third suspect involved in the home invasion.
