5 years passed since the murder of Pop Smoke, killed on February 19, 2020 during a robbery in a house that had rented in Hollywood Hills, California.

Five years after all those responsible for the murder were sentenced.

One of the three minors at the time of the facts, the one who actually shot Pop Smoke was sentenced to 50 years in prison, but will serve only 25, who is the maximum sentence for minors in California, the second declared himself guilty of voluntary murder and robbery and the third is imprisoned in a post-condating detention structure.

Only Corey Walker remained, the only adult who participated in the robbery culminating in murder.

Well, on February 21 Walker was sentenced 29 years in prison.
