Its been almost 2 weeks since the untimely death of Pop Smoke. According to TMZ, law enforcement is running into problems with the investigation due to a lack of credible witnesses.

Investigators are saying that many people are refusing to talk and those that have come forward as witnesses have “sketchy” stories. Some of the witnesses’ stories have been altered or turned out to be untrue.
