The Tale Of Lil Pop
In Goons Of The Industry Episode 6 we mentioned Lil Pop, who introduced Wayne Perry to Alpo Martinez.
Shelton Watkins aka Lil Pop also went by the name of "Shorty Pop", and was the lead singer of the original lineup of The Junk Yard Band.
In 1989 Pop was D.C.'s most wanted fugitive:
Shelton Walker, of the 2900 block of Knox Place SE, is wanted on murder charges in connection with two slayings in the District: the 1987 slaying of Tony Kenion, 29, who was shot in the chest in the 3300 block of 14th Place SE; and the Dec. 6 slaying of Matthew N. Blake, who was killed during a shootout in the 3300 block of Camden Street SE. Walker was charged in October with assault with intent to kill Levin Hill on May 30. The Levin shooting occurred in the 5800 block of Georgia Avenue NW. A bench warrant had been issued charging Walker with failure to appear in another assault case, said Sgt. Joseph Gentile, a D.C. police spokesman. In addition, Walker has been charged with murder and rape in Prince George's County in connection with the December 1988 slaying of Andre Smith at the Crystal Skate rink on Branch Avenue.
In the 1990's, Lil Pop was killed outside The Classics night club next to Andrews airforce base. He had his entire face shot off. They emptied a ak-47 clip into him. It was said his murder was revenge for killing Blake - who was allegedly a drug dealer. Lil Pop was around 20 years old at the time, give or take a year or two
