The trial date for Corey Walker, the only defendant charged as an adult in the 2020 fatal shooting of Pop Smoke, has been set for June 25 in Los Angeles. Walker pleaded not guilty to charges related to the alleged home-invasion robbery and murder. Prosecutors claim Walker facilitated the crimes by surveilling the crime scene, serving as the researcher, getaway driver, weapons provider, and planner of the home invasion. Walker's former lawyer maintains that he did not plan the crime and served as the driver who remained outside.
The trial involves accusations that all four individuals, including Walker, plotted a home invasion to steal money, jewelry, and a watch from Pop Smoke. The late rapper was killed at the Hollywood Hills home in 2020 during the incident.
