The unidentified suspects are reported to have escaped on foot. As of now, it’s not clear if he knew the assailants, but, at the time, police had put one man in handcuffs, but quickly released him after determining that he was not involved.

The home Smoke was at is owned by Teddi Mellencamp’s husband, Edwin Arroyave. The rapper might have been renting the property. Images from his social media showed him in high spirits at the home, just hours before his death.
