LOS ANGELES – A trial date has been set for one of four defendants involved in rapper Pop Smoke’s murder.
Corey Walker, who was 19 at the time of Pop Smoke’s killing, has a trial date set for June 25 in Los Angeles, according to Rolling Stone.
Walker is the only adult defendant in the case.
In April 2023, a 20-year-old defendant, who was a teenager at the time of the rapper’s murder – plead guilty in a juvenile court to voluntary manslaughter and home invasion robbery. He was the first of the four suspects to admit to the murder.
The other defendants were 15 and 17-years-old at the time of the murder.
Pop Smoke, whose real name was Bashar Jackson, was in Los Angeles in Feb. 2020 when he posted the address of his Airbnb on Instagram. The four defendants broke into the home as he was in a bathroom and shot him three times before robbing him of a Rolex.
He was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries.
The Brooklyn Drill rapper was 20 years old.
