*As was previously reported, rapper Pop Smoke was shot and killed by 4 masked gunmen back in February. Initially, it appeared to be a home invasion robbery at a rental pad in the Hollywood Hills. However, it was later reported that it was a targeted attack.

At the time, police were unable to identify the suspects who committed the crime and only shared little details. Following months with no news on the case, TMZ has finally provided an update.

Law enforcement sources say that LAPD served multiple search warrants around Los Angeles early Thursday morning, and 5 people were arrested on warrants in connection to the rapper’s murder.  3 adults and 2 juveniles were taken into custody. However, it’s unclear what the suspects are being charged with.
