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.
