American rapper, Pop Smoke, was shot and killed Wednesday morning in what appears to be a home invasion robbery.
The rapper was at a home in the Hollywood Hills at around 4:30 AM when 2 men wearing hoodies and masks broke into a house, law enforcement sources said.
According to reports, the 2 men fired multiple shots, striking and critically wounded Pop Smoke. The men were seen fleeing on foot.
The rapper was rushed by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood where he was pronounced dead.
The suspects have not been caught and haven’t been identified yet.
It’s unclear if Pop Smoke knew the shooters. One man was placed in handcuffs but cops determined he was not involved and was released.
