Pop Smoke was fatally shot on Feb. 19, 2020, in Los Angeles, during a home invasion robbery. It was later reported that his death was a targeted attack.
An earlier report noted that on Thursday (May 6), LAPD detective
Christian Carrasco gave a testimony at the preliminary hearing for
Corey Walker, 20, the only adult in the case, that Pop Smoke was killed by a 15-year-old teen.
Three men and two teen boys were arrested in connection with the slaying of Pop Smoke in California.
The 15-year-old reportedly “admitted that he shot the victim three times with a Baretta 9 [mm.],” Camacho said. According to the New York Daily News, the detective revealed that the group of suspects broke into the LA mansion that the raper was renting at the time to steal his Cuban link chain. They only managed to get away with a diamond-studded Rolex watch, which they later sold for $2,000.
