NEW YORK _ Rapper Pop Smoke's final resting place after his slaying in Los Angeles two weeks ago will be a Brooklyn cemetery not far from where he grew up in the Canarsie neighborhood, the New York Daily News learned Monday.
The rapper's burial is set for later this week at the historic Green-Wood Cemetery south of Prospect Park, according to a copy of his death certificate obtained by The News.
The entertainer initially was due to be buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery on Brooklyn's eastern edge, but the location was later changed with an addendum.
Pop Smoke, whose real name was Bashar Barakah Jackson, suffered a "rapid" death on Feb. 19 after he was shot in the torso during a home invasion at his residence in the Hollywood Hills, the certificate states.
Doctors performed a major surgery called a "left thoracotomy" at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center but were unable to save him, the certificate says.
The formal cause of death, previously released by the Los Angeles County coroner, was listed as a gunshot wound to the torso. It has been ruled a homicide.
The rising rap star was 20.
"The suspects are all still at large. We're early in our investigation, but getting deeper into it," Los Angeles Police Robbery Homicide Division Capt. Jonathan Tippet told The News on Monday.
"We are still requesting assistance from the public and anything they can provide us, that would be helpful," he said.
He said the case involved "at minimum four suspects" and that it was still too early to say whether it was a robbery or targeted hit.
Law enforcement sources previously said four suspects wearing hoodies to obscure their identities were seen on surveillance video at the multimillion dollar rented house before fleeing the scene.
Jackson posted images on social media shortly before the shooting that revealed his address and showed a large amount of cash.
He was an up-and-coming performer who collaborated with major names including Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott. His breakout single "Welcome to the Party" was remixed by ASAP Ferg and Meek Mill.
Law enforcement officials in New York passed along information alleging Jackson had gang ties on the East Coast, but the preliminary investigation revealed no clear connection to a gang dispute, police said.
"We're not calling this some type of gang feud at this time. There's no immediate indication the suspects are involved with a gang. It is unknown," Tippet previously told The News.
