Pop Smoke Murder Defendant Takes Plea Deal With 29 Years in Prison

Pop Smoke murder defendant Corey Walker pleaded guilty to home invasion robbery and voluntary manslaughter under a deal including 29 years in prison

Corey Walker, accused of leading three juveniles to the rented Airbnb the morning of the shooting, pleaded guilty to home invasion robbery with gun and gang enhancements and is expected to be sentenced to 29 years in prison.
