Pop Smoke’s Alleged Killer Corey Walker Denied Bail

One Of Pop Smoke’s Alleged Killer Denied Bail

One of the men accused of killing rapper Pop Smoke has been denied bail. Corey Walker, 20, is one of four suspects charged in Pop Smoke’s murder and will have to remain in jail after prosecutors argued his case “was not applicable for bail based on the letter of the law.”

Corey and three others were arrested in July 2020, after he allegedly carried out an armed robbery of Pop Smoke’s Airbnb home, murdering him.

Pop Smoke was renting a home in the upscale Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. But on the day tragedy struck at around 4:30 AM, 2 men wearing hoodies and masks burst into the house.

Authorities told TMZ that the men fired multiple shots, striking and critically wounding Pop Smoke. The men then ran off – on foot.

Pop Smoke, real name Bashar Barakah Jackson, was just 20 years old. Pop was a rapper and songwriter. In April 2019, he released the song “Welcome to the Party”, the lead single of his debut mixtape Meet the Woo, which was released in July 2019.

Last week, we reported that the rapper’s gravesite was badly vandalized early at Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery where it appeared the suspects tried to pull his casket out.

Drag marks were seen in the photos where it was apparent that the vandals tried to remove the casket from the tomb after removing the slab that divided his coffin from the one above it.
