New details in the case of Pop Smoke’s death came out in a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday, according to The New York Daily News.
LAPD Detective Carlos Camacho testified at a preliminary hearing for Corey, 20, the only adult defendant in the case. Four people are facing murder and robbery charges in connection with the Brooklyn rapper’s death. Detective Camacho testified that the group targeted the 20 year old artist and wanted his diamond studded Rolex.
The detective said the group entered the rapper’s rental home in the Hollywood Hills around 4 a.m. on February 19, 2020, looking for jewelry, including his Cuban link chain. He testified that they took only the watch, which was later resold for about $2,000.
Detective Camacho also described what he said was a recorded jail interview with another defendant, who is a juvenile. Under California law the juvenile’s case is handled separately, and those statements are allegations that have not been proven at trial. The detective testified that a confrontation took place when the group asked for the jewelry.
All of the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The rapper was just 20 years old when he died, and fans continue to remember him for his music.
