Polo G found dead

On February 27, 2021, Polo G was renting a house owned by The Real Housewives star Teddi Mellencamp and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, in Hollywood Hills, California.[39][40][41] At around 4:30 a.m., four hooded men, including one wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun, broke into the house and shot him twice in the chest.[41][42][43] The LAPD had received news of the home invasion from a call from the East Coast.[44] Police arrived at the home six minutes later and found Polo with multiple gunshot wounds.[45] He was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed a thoracotomy on the left side of his chest.[46] A few hours later, he was prounced dead at the age of 20 years old.[47][48] On February 21, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner revealed that the cause of Pop Smoke’s death was a gunshot wound to the torso.[41] Investigators believed that the house was a target for home invasions following a string of robberies that took place at homes rented by musicians.[47] The LAPD at first considered that Polos death was gang-related as he was tied to the Crips. They also suspected that his killers may have been gang-affiliated.[47] The LAPD later believed his death was the consequence of a home robbery gone wrong.[49] The day before his murder, Pop Smoke and friend Mike Dee had posted several images on social media, including one in which Mellencamp’s home address can be seen in the background.[47] The rapper also posted a story on Instagram and Facebook of gifts he had received.[47] One showed the house’s full address on the packaging, giving out its location.[47]
