According to a report by Rolling Stones, Walker was sentenced on charges of voluntary homicide on February 5.
While speaking to Rolling Stones, Pop Smoke's mother mentioned that the trial is over for everybody except her,
"This never ends for me. And that's unfair. I appreciate they (fans) got justice to the fullest extent of the law. But my life doesn't change. I still don't have my son. I wil continue to work on his legacy, but that's also a reminder that he's not here."
Croey Walker was accused of leading three juveniles to a rented Airbnb property the morning of the shooting in 2020. Walker was 19 at the time of the murder and will serve two terms simultaneously for charges of robbery and manslaughter. Additionally, Walker has also pleaded guilty to charges of home invasion robbery with gun and gang enhancements.
