What Walker said at sentencing
Walker apologized to the Jackson family, his own family, and his community. Speaking in court, he said: “Even though the Jackson family isn’t here in court today, I would like to sincerely apologize for my unforgivable actions, although there’s no apology that amounts to the taking of someone’s life.”
He also told the court: “Today I take responsibility for my dreadful partake in these crimes, and as I begin my road to rehabilitation, I assure you that I will steer clear from negative behavior.” These statements were reported by Rolling Stone.

How the case relates to Pop Smoke’s killing
Pop Smoke, born Bashar Jackson, was killed during a home invasion at a rented Los Angeles home on February 19, 2020. Rolling Stone described Walker as the driver who brought juveniles to the home and as the only adult defendant. That description does not establish that Walker fired the shots.
Walker’s attorney, Kellen Davis, told Rolling Stone that Walker was not inside the home when the shooting occurred and called the plea “a hard pill to swallow,” noting that Walker would serve the longest sentence. This is the defense attorney’s account and characterization, not a court finding.
