LAPD haven’t determined the roles of the suspect, since they believe the second person involved served as a getaway driver.
The culprits robbed and killed PNB Rock on Sept. 12th at Roscoe’s in Inglewood. Shortly after the rapper’s death, police said they haven’t ruled out social media’s role in the incident. Police said his girlfriend’s Instagram post revealing their location could’ve led to his death.
Police said the Instagram post shared 20 minutes before the attack may have led the suspects to the restaurant. Authorities suggested there was a good chance that that the Instagram post potentially put a target on PNB Rock’s back.
The LAPD released a photograph of Freddie Lee Trone, and authorities say Trone was involved in rapper PnB Rock’s killing, which occurred during a violent robbery inside the Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles on Sept. 12.
