PnB Rock Murder Suspect Identified – Report

A suspect has reportedly been named in the murder of PnB Rock.

On Wednesday (Sept. 28), TMZ reported the Los Angeles Police Department has named Freddie Lee Trone as a “person involved” in the murder of Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock , which occurred at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles in South Los Angeles earlier this month. Trone is still at large and considered “armed and dangerous.”

It is unclear what role he played in the killing. Apparently there was a getaway vehicle used in the crime.

XXL has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for comment.

As previously reported, PnB Rock, born Rakim Hasheem Allen, was killed on Sept. 12, while dining at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles. He was shot by one suspect. Police believe the shooting was initially intended to be an armed robbery. After allegedly brandishing a firearm and demanding the Philly rap-crooner hand over items, authorities believe the assailant shot PnB Rock multiple times before making off with the rapper’s personal belongings in a nearby getaway car. The “Forever Never” artist was then transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries just before 2 p.m. that afternoon.

The rap game first learned that PnB Rock had been shot when a gruesome, witness-recorded video began to make its round across social media platforms showing the “I Like Girls” spitter fighting for his life on the floor of the restaurant while others attempted to assist in the tragic situation.

In the aftermath of his passing, many of PnB Rock‘s peers within the hip-hop world offered condolences to the late Philadelphia rhymer and his loved ones. However, some of the sympathies were not without a certain amount of controversy.

A few hip-hop notables, such as Kodak Black, appeared to place blame on PnB’s girlfriend for posting a photo that included the location of the restaurant at which she and Rock were dining at the time of the shooting. YK Osiris also raised some eyebrows across social media when he appeared to tell his Instagram audience that he wishes God “took” him instead. YK has since denied posting the IG Story.

In the days since PnB Rock’s murder, police have been looking into whether an Instagram post revealing the rapper’s location played a role in his death. They have also alerted pawn shops to be on the lookout for PnB Rock’s stolen jewelry.
