Pop Smoke kicked after being shot; witness

LOS ANGELES- Rapper Pop Smoke was taking a shower in a Los Angeles mansion, when two masked men climbed in through a second-floor balcony, LAPD detective Christian Carrasco testified on Thursday.

One of the masked gunman allegedly put a black semiautomatic firearm to the head of a female that Pop Smoke had in his bedroom that night, Carrasco said on court, reports The New York Daily News.

Carrasco says the female witness told police “She heard a struggle coming from the shower area and heard Mr. Jackson screaming. Mr. Jackson ran out of the bathroom and then she heard a loud pop and heard Mr. Jackson fall to the ground.”

Carrasco says the witness saw two men kicking the rapper, whose real name is Bashar Barakah Jackson.

Jackson then ran downstairs, where the witness heard two “more pops”. She followed Mr. Jackson, and saw him lying on the floor injured, and told someone to call 911.
The witness also told investigators that the men took the rapper’s chain and other jewelry.
The 20-year-old Brooklyn drill rapper died from a single gunshot wound to his torso on Feb., 2020. He had posted his  address on Instagram hours before his death.
This preliminary hearing will determine if the sole suspect, Corey Walker, 20, will go to trial.
Walker was charged with murder and robbery. He pleaded not guilty.

The motive for Pop Smoke’s killing is unknown.

Investigators say that 4 men masked men were seen on surveillance footage at the time of Pop Smoke’s murder.
