Rapper ‘died in a robbery’

-

AUTHORITIE­S believe rising rapper Pop Smoke was shot and killed during a Los Angeles homeinvasi­on robbery in February after his social media posts led five suspects to the house he was renting, police said after detectives arrested the group.

The claim comes after Los Angeles police had initially discounted a robbery theory in the days after the 20-year-old rapper’s death on February 19 at a home in the Hollywood Hills.
