BEVERLY HILLS, May 09, (THEWILL) – The Los Angeles Police Department says the late American rapper, Pop Smoke, 20, was killed by a 15-year-old in a home invasion robbery in February 2020.
According to the New York Daily News, LAPD Detective, Carlos Camacho, the teenager was one of the five people arrested in connection with the murder of the rapper which occurred following a home invasion.

“The teen admitted that he shot the victim three times after they got into a fight.
“He said he shot him on the back. He said that when they got inside, the deceased was in the shower naked.
“Pop initially started to comply. However the rapper fought back but was rushed by the robbers who pistol-whipped him before the 15-year-old shot him.”
