They face the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.Two other males, ages 17 and 15, have been charged in juvenile court with one count each of murder and robbery.
Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who oversees the Robbery-Homicide Division, said the three men likely went to the home Pop Smoke was renting because they knew the rapper was there from his social media posts. They stole items from the home, though Tippet said he could not divulge what was taken. All five suspects are believed to be members of a South Los Angeles gang Tippet would not name, and at least some of them are believed to be linked to a 2019 homicide when a fight escalated into a shooting outside the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Teddi Mellencamp previously said on Instagram that the couple had been notified of the shooting at their rental property but knew no more than what they had seen in media reports.
