| [NYPOST] Authorities are investigating whether the man whose naked body was found stuffed in a barrel at a Florida beach was killed in retaliation for the 2020 murder of Brooklyn-born rapper Pop Smoke. The victim, identified as Javonnta Murphy, a 32-year-old singer-songwriter from Sylmar, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, was killed with a gunshot to the head, according to an autopsy report. His naked body was discovered inside a sealed 55-gallon drum floating in the water off Malibu Lagoon State Beach on July 31. Murphy was the older brother of Jaquan Murphy, who was one of five suspects arrested in the February 2020 slaying of 20-year-old rapper Pop Smoke during a home-invasion robbery, reported TMZ. Jaquan Murphy, then aged 21, was initially charged with attempted murder in the rapper’s killing but he was later cleared in that case. |
