One of four men charged in the killing of rapper Pop Smoke during a robbery at a Hollywood Hills mansion pleaded guilty Thursday to voluntary manslaughter.
The 20-year-old man, who was 17 when the killing occurred, also pleaded guilty in Inglewood juvenile court to home invasion robbery. He was sentenced to four years and two months in a juvenile facility.
The judge has barred the public use of his name because he was a minor at the time of the shooting.
The 20-year-old New York rapper, whose legal name is Bashar Barakah Jackson, was killed on Feb. 19, 2020, at a rented home where he was staying while on a four-day trip to Los Angeles. A 911 call from a friend of someone in the house reported armed intruders inside the home, police said.

Four people have been charged with the murder of rapper Pop Smoke, who was gunned down at a Hollywood Hills home in February.
Corey Walker, 19, Keandre Rodgers, 18, and two unnamed minors were charged with murder on Monday, according to a press release from the office of Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey. The minors, aged 17 and 15, were each charged with one count of murder and robbery in juvenile court.
Because the crime took place during a robbery and burglary, Walker and Rodgers, both legal adults, could face the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted, according to the Da’s office. The accusations against them also involved gun and gang activity.
