Death of American rapper, Pop Smoke, is being investigated as gang hit and not a robbery gone wrong.
The 20-year-old rapper was shot dead at a home in Hollywood Hills at about 4.30am Wednesday.
Initially, it was reported that Pop Smoke died in a home invasion robbery because it came hours after he shared several media posts including his home address online. But authorities are now treating the case as a targeted hit based on surveillance video from the property.
Insiders who have seen CCTV footage said that four men were seen entering the $2.5million home on Hercules Drive and later flee the property empty-handed after carrying out the crime.
At a press conference Wednesday morning, LAPD Captain Steve Lurie said authorities were searching for between two and six suspects.
