Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the possible connection between the murder of rapper Pop Smoke and a disturbing incident that occurred on a beach in Malibu. The lifeless body of a man named Javonnta Murphy was discovered inside a barrel that washed ashore on July 31. Interestingly, Javonnta is the sibling of Jaquan Murphy, who was previously arrested in connection with Pop Smoke’s murder in 2020. Initially facing charges of attempted murder in relation to the rapper’s death, Jaquan was later cleared but is currently awaiting trial for an unrelated murder in Los Angeles County. TMZ reports that sources from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have revealed that investigators are now exploring the possibility that Javonnta’s murder could be a retaliatory act for Pop Smoke’s death. While this theory is not the sole focus of the investigation, it is one that authorities are actively delving into. The official report regarding Javonnta’s death is pending for four to six months due to the doctor requesting toxicology results. A beachgoer stumbled upon the barrel containing Javonnta’s body floating along the coast near the 23200 block of Pacific Coast Highway. With the assistance of local lifeguards, the barrel was brought ashore, revealing the naked body of the 32-year-old. It is currently unknown how long the container had been adrift. Lt. Hugo Reynaga explained that there is a possibility that the barrel could have come in from the ocean during high tide and become stuck in the lagoon, but this remains unconfirmed. He also noted that the body did not appear decomposed or as though it had been there for an extended period. The details surrounding Pop Smoke’s murder have shaken the music industry and his fans. The emerging star was fatally shot during a home invasion in Los Angeles in February 2020. The incident sent shockwaves throughout the country, as Pop Smoke’s career was rapidly gaining momentum, with his distinctive style and energetic performances amassing a large fan base. The investigation into his murder has been ongoing, and while multiple arrests have been made, the case remains open. The potential connection between Javonnta’s murder and the rapper’s death provides law enforcement with a new avenue to explore. Retaliation killings are not uncommon in cases involving violence and criminal activity, prompting investigators to actively pursue this angle in search of potential leads. The picturesque beaches and luxurious homes of Malibu have now been marred by a disturbing crime scene. The shocking discovery of Javonnta’s body inside a barrel has reportedly left both locals and visitors in disbelief, shattering the serene atmosphere of the beach and leaving behind a somber mystery..
