The Alleged Home Invasion Robbery in Hollywood Hills

Walker has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder and three related charges in connection to the alleged home invasion robbery at the Hollywood Hills residence rented by the late rapper, Pop Smoke. Prosecutors have accused Walker of playing a central role in the crime, serving as the researcher, getaway driver, weapons provider, and planner of the home invasion.

Walker’s Involvement in the Crime

It is alleged that Walker facilitated the crimes by surveilling the crime scene before the incident and communicating with the three juveniles who entered the home. This led to an attack on Pop Smoke, which ultimately resulted in his tragic death. Walker’s former lawyer, Christopher Darden, has maintained that his ex-client did not plan the crime and served as the driver who remained outside in the vehicle.

Prosecutors claim that all four individuals involved, including Walker, conspired to commit the home invasion in order to steal money, jewelry, and a diamond-studded watch that Pop Smoke had flaunted on social media. The address of the rental home was reportedly identified from a gift bag the rapper had posted online.
