A man charged in the 2020 killing of rapper Pop Smoke during a robbery at a Hollywood Hills mansion has accepted a plea deal, avoiding a trial on a murder charge that was set to begin Thursday. Corey Walker, 24, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and two counts of robbery in exchange for a 29-year prison sentence, to be finalized at a later hearing.
Walker was the only adult charged in the case, along with three individuals who were juveniles at the time of the crime, including a 15-year-old gunman. All parties involved have reached separate agreements.
