<p>The Brooklyn-based rapper suffered his fatal injuries at a rental property owned by Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Pop Smoke and his entourage staying at the home are not believed to be associated with the gang, police said. No one else was shot during the incident.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">The rapper had posted pictures of him posing by an infinity pool in the home’s backyard, as well as a photographs of the Los Angeles skyline from what was likely the house’s backyard.<br />
In another post, Pop Smoke or a member of his entourage put a picture of a gift bag tagged with the Hollywood Hills address and a different photo showed him posing by a Ranger Rover in a spot where the home’s address was partly visible in the background.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">“It’s our belief that (the home-invasion robbery) was based on some of the social media” posts, an LAPD spokesperson said.<br />
“It’s based on the fact that he was posting his information may have contributed to him knowing where to find him.”<br />
</span>The 911 call the LAPD responded to actually came from the east coast, from someone who had apparently been called by someone inside the L.A. property during the home invasion.</p>
