Bolno, who has represented huge stars including Justin Bieber and Drake, was officially cleared as a person of interest in the investigation, Miami police told the New York Post.
Lozano’s cause of death has not yet been confirmed, according to the outlet.
Bolno is married with children and has spoken out about the case, calling it a “terrible tragedy” and saying he was not present at the time of Lozano’s death, Daily Mail reported.
“I really liked her. I was helping her make music… it was a terrible tragedy. I had vacated the room in the earlier part of the morning so I wasn’t there when they found her,” Bolno told the outlet. “It was really sad, she was someone I really liked, and she was a good person.”
“She’d been there because she was recording music the night before,” he continued, according to Daily Mail. “She’s a client and she was going to sign a record deal with me I helped her make music. I really don’t want to go too deeply into it honestly it was a terrible tragedy.”
Security was alerted to Lozano’s suite after hotel staff failed several times to contact her and notify her to vacate the room at about 1 p.m., according to Daily Mail. (RELATED: REPORT: Aspiring Rapper Allegedly Murders Grandparents, Walks Into Psych Ward Covered In Blood)
