The arrest was the result of a tip. The tipster will receive a reward of up to $7,500.

DPS says Boynes was transported to Houston and awaits transfer to El Paso, where he was wanted in connection with an August 2017 slaying at a hotel.

His criminal history also includes arrests for aggravated assault, sexual assault, weapons charges and burglary.
