According to the New York Daily News, LAPD Detective Carlos Camacho testified on May 7 that a 15-year-old was part of a group of intruders that wanted to steal the Brooklyn rapper’s Rolex. They stormed Smoke’s mansion and tried to take his Cuban link chain, but only got away with the diamond-studded watch, which they later resold for $2,000.
The alleged shooter is the youngest of the group and is now facing murder and robbery charges.
Camacho testified:
“He admitted that he shot the victim three times with a Baretta 9 [mm.]”
During a recorded jail interview, the teen allegedly “admitted that they asked for the jewelry” and then there was “a confrontation” with Pop Smoke.
Camacho said:
“They got into a fight, and he shot him three times. He said he shot him on the back.”
The group of invaders also allegedly threatened a woman who was with the rapper on the night of the incident.
Corey Walker, a fellow suspect in the case, has pleaded not guilty. It is unknown how the three other suspects will or have pled to the charges.
