Pop Smoke was tragically killed over a year ago, but details are now emerging from court of what investigators believe transpired during the devastating early hours of February 19, 2020. Using a first-hand witness’ testimony, Los Angeles Police Department detective Christian Carrasco spoke at Thursday’s (May 6) hearing.
Carrasco essentially gave a play-by-play of Pop Smoke’s final minutes as a group of armed intruders busted through the second-floor balcony of his Hollywood Hills Airbnb mansion around 4:00 a.m. PT while he was in the shower, according to the New York Daily News.
One of the suspects held the woman in Pop’s bedroom at gunpoint while the others rushed him in the bathroom.
“She heard a struggle coming from the shower area and heard Mr. Jackson screaming,” the detective said at the hearing. “Mr. Jackson ran out of the bathroom and then she heard a loud pop and [heard] Mr. Jackson fall to the ground. Two other individuals began to kick him.”
After hearing her son was kicked while the detective replayed the night’s events, Pop Smoke’s mother reportedly became visibly upset in the courtroom.
He continued, “Mr. Jackson gets up and run downstairs. She hears two more pops. She follows Mr. Jackson, sees him on the ground and screams for Michael (Durodola) to call 911.”

Pop Smoke — born Bashar Jackson — was shot multiple times in the torso and his injuries proved to be fatal when he passed away at the same Los Angeles hospital The Notorious B.I.G. died while doctors attempted to perform an emergency left thoracotomy.
Four arrests were made in the Brooklyn native’s murder. Corey Walker, 20, was arrested for murder and robbery while the other three juvenile suspects are also being charged without their names available in court. The preliminary hearing sets the stage for a trial if the judge deems it necessary going forward.
damn homie got murked butt naked by some shortys! That could be a nice brag in some rap song but I doubt the shooters will be making any records in a while.
Shut your dumb ass up I hope they shoot you in the back of the head tonight
I hope all 3 of your mothers get beer bottles shoved up their puss’s and thrown down some stair with it inside em you fucking losers defending this record label prop fuck pop smoke and all his little lookalikes the labels got runnin around ruining generations of youth like you idiots
So much anger. Settle down ok. There’s no need for violence against women. I understand that you might prefer men but that doesn’t mean you have the right to insult or wish bodily harm to their mothers. It’s kinda juvenile, isn’t it?
Hope u die slow
How embarrasing he was fully naked while they kicked him around like a game of soccer.. that ain’t gangsta.. at least Biggie and Pac wasn’t naked.. also are we sure the woman didn’t contact the perps? How convenient he was in the shower at the time. Also didn’t somebody claim Pop Smoke shot back at them, lol it would appear that wasn’t the case, somebody straight up lied to make dude look gangsta, he wasn’t gangsta he was naked. Gangstas don’t get kicked naked on the floor.
no one asked you we all know you aint gansta
if it was just him and his boy there, they werent moving correctly, ESPECIALLY in L.A. shoulda had a full staff of armed, legit and paid security (and not just some of his peoples). Sad nonetheless, RIP Pop
you’re disgusting. a bunch of pu$$y a$$ jits got him when he couldn’t defend himself, literally at his most vulnerable. just say you’re a broke loser and move on….anyways R.I.P. to another incredible talent gone way too soon <3
How many lives were wasted here for nothing. Nothing to do with hip hop.
Sounds like a targeted hit executed since they left witnesses. I think if it was a robbery gone bad, they would have killed the others in the house too and wouldn’t put it past one of them to be involved from the inside. Somebody wanted him dead and sent these dummies to carry it out.
He leaked his information and location on social media and he was caught lacking in which the “Got it On Me” rapper ironically didn’t have it on him that morning and wasn’t about to give up anything without a fight. For someone that’s supposed to be street smart and gangsta, that’s a pretty dumb costly move. Y’all got to realize that you have to be extra careful and tactful when you traveling to the west coast like that. Hire or check in with local leader that way once you touch down, you don’t have to worry about any unexpected drama popping off in your direction. Have actual security, not just you entourage or homies that will protect you. Don’t go flashing cash and showing off bragging especially during a pandemic because people are desperate and are willing to do anything to achieve money,drugs,food, or clout. If Pop Smoke had his piece on him, he’d be here still or if they didn’t inadvertently display their location and they’d had adequate amount of security there, that shooting would have turned out a different way.
Wow your fucking stupid haha yea cause little starvin teenagers and 20 year olds off on they own will listen to OG’s… go back to your ps5 in your mamas basement now goofy
They’ll listen to a barrage of bullets or a massive gang of security that’s the point dumbass.
Man lotta fake ass gangsta on this one haha get your daddys cock outa your mouths and go get lifes god damn haha
Took all your remaining brain cells to come up with that and you even spelled that incorrectly with autocorrect. Lol it’s too late, buddy. Everybody knows your just an unintelligent peon who’s looking for attention. Type away. Just know that no matter what you type, your opinion will always be proven wrong due to either your skewed perspective or idiot misinformed view on life because of ignorance. Have Fun…..: ) Oh and why are you obsessed with parental genitalia? It’s pretty creepy, bro? Might want to seek mental health for that, seriously?
You fucking retarded if you think that they could overpower a fully armed security team or a local “street/gang team” that’s strapped to a T for anything and they know the area better than anyone else. They’d track them down in a heartbeat and handle that shit so quick. But I guess since you’re not from here so you don’t know how things work here so it’s understandable.
Are/were you drunk when you were posting?
Funny cuz it sounds more like you’re describing yourself. Where’s this hostility coming from. Did somebody hurt you?
Man!!! You gotta stay off that crack!!!
In reference to him not having that thang on him I point you to the immortal words of Mr. Billy Danzini: “I’d rather be judged by 12 than laid by 6”

At least there was a large BLM Protest after his killing to wake the world up over another unarmed young black male being killed !!! Oh wait !! There wasn’t a protest !! I guess his black life didn’t matter to the BLM protesters !
You matter even less bro…. You’re one of probably 300,000 people named James Ramirez… There’s nothing original about you. You suck. Nobody would even care enough about you to bother killing or robbing you. Clown.
he passed away at the same Los Angeles hospital The Notorious B.I.G. died
NIKKA WHAT LMAOOOO
