A man has been arrested in a Spartanburg County homicide that happened last week, the sheriff's office announced today.

Deputies who responded to Outlook Drive in Boiling Springs during the early hours of May 21 found Keylan Devagieo Boston, 25, of Duncan, slumped over the steering wheel of a vehicle that had crashed into a fence, a spokesperson for the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office said in a Wednesday afternoon press release.
