The New York Daily News obtained a copy of Pop Smoke’s death certificate which reportedly says the rapper’s burial is set for later this week in Brooklyn — where he grew up — at the historic Green-Wood Cemetery south of Prospect Park. The news site notes that Pop initially was due to be buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery on Brooklyn’s eastern edge, the location was later changed with an addendum.
While the death of Pop, who was only 20-years-old is still all hard to process for many people, his family is still desperately searching for answers as to who killed him and why. Los Angeles’ Police Robbery Homicide Division Capt. Jonathan Tippet told The News on Monday, “The suspects are all still at large. We’re early in our investigation, but getting deeper into it.”
He went on to say,
“We are still requesting assistance from the public and anything they can provide us, that would be helpful,” Tippet said adding that, the case involved “at minimum four suspects” and that it was still too early to say whether it was a robbery or targeted hit.”
While we wait to get more details on that, in the meantime, let’s continue to send prayers to Pop Smoke’s loved ones during this difficult time.
