“An unknown number of suspects with masks entered the residence and shot the victim, a black male in his 20s,” according to the LAPD. “The victim was transported to a local hospital by a fire department and was later pronounced dead.”

Sources stated as many as six people may have been involved in the home invasion and subsequent slaying, which police suspect is gang-related, since Pop Smoke was allegedly a member of a gang affiliated with the Crips.

Teddi Mellencamp addressed Pop Smoke’s slaying, saying she hired a third-party leasing and management company to oversee the rental home she owns.

Nicki Minaj was among the many rappers who have paid tribute to Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke.
