Suspect arrested in rapper’s death

-

Police in Florida have arrested a second suspect in the killing of the 20-year-old rapper XXXTentaci­on, who was shot in broad daylight while leaving a motorcycle dealership on June 18.

The Broward County Sheriff ’s Office said Wednesday that Michael Boatwright, 22, was one of two armed suspects who confronted XXXTentaci­on (born Jahseh Onfroy) in his car that afternoon in Deerfield Beach, Fla., attempting to rob him. Boatwright was arrested July 5 on unrelated drug charges, police said, and was served an arrest warrant for first-degree murder while still in custody Tuesday.

Another suspect, Dedrick Devonshay Williams, 22, was arrested two days after the killing and charged with firstdegre­e murder, though detectives said at the time that they were seeking additional suspects. On Wednesday, the Broward Sheriff ’s Office said it was still seeking an unidentifi­ed “second gunman” in the slaying; Robert Allen, 22, has also been named as a person of interest in the case.
