Jocelyn Amparo Flores was born on July 2, 2000, in The Bronx, New York City, New York. She later moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where she spent most of her childhood. Known for her striking appearance, Jocelyn had aspirations of becoming a model and was building a presence on social media, where her images attracted attention from a growing audience.
In 2017, rapper XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, noticed Jocelyn on social media and invited her to Florida to model for his clothing brand, Revenge. While staying in Florida, Flores and another woman were staying at XXTentacion’s home when a dispute arose over missing money. Each party accused the other, and, concerned about potential escalation, XXXTentacion decided to ask both individuals to leave his residence.
After leaving the home, Jocelyn checked into the Hampton Inn in Coconut Creek, Florida, shortly before midnight. The following morning, on May 14, 2017, she was found dead in her hotel room in what was officially ruled a suicide. She was 17 years old.
Flores's death deeply affected XXXTentacion, prompting him to dedicate a song to her memory. The track, titled "Jocelyn Flores," was released as the second single from his debut studio album, 17. The song resonated with many listeners, peaking at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It became one of the rapper’s most emotionally charged and widely recognized works.
Jocelyn Flores became a symbol of the silent struggle with mental health that many young people face. Her story drew attention to issues such as depression, suicide, and emotional vulnerability, particularly among teens and young adults. Through XXXTentacion’s tribute, her name reached a wide audience, sparking conversations about the importance of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
Less than a year after Jocelyn’s death, XXXTentacion was fatally shot on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Their brief connection and tragic endings led some fans to romanticize the idea of their reunion in death, although these sentiments are generally viewed as reflective of grief rather than literal belief.
The enduring popularity of the song “Jocelyn Flores” continues to keep her memory alive. It remains a poignant reminder of the emotional struggles faced by many and underscores the power of music as a form of tribute and healing.
