He was arrested after he was said to be involved in the murder of XXXTentacion.
Boatwright's lawyer claimed the homicide detective began questioning him about his identity without letting him know his rights.
The attorney states that eight minutes into the questioning, the officer finished reading Boatwright his Miranda Rights. Boatwright also let the detective know told the detective that he didn't want to proceed with the interview.
