Rapper PnB Rock was fatally shot during a heist in Los Angeles on Monday, according to Chief Michel Moore of the Los Angeles Police Department.
At 1:15 p.m., police were called to a possible robbery at West Manchester Avenue’s Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles, where they discovered a victim with several gunshot wounds. During a news conference on Monday night, Kelly Muniz remarked.
Moore informed the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners on Tuesday that the victim had been identified as Rakim Allen, popularly known as PnB Rock.
An extremely high-profile murder involving a musician by the name of PnB Rock happened at a southeast neighbourhood restaurant only yesterday, according to Moore.
“Mr. Rakim Allen was brutally attacked by a person who, apparently, we believe… came to the location after a social media posting of the artist and the woman accompanying him,” reads the report. “Allen was there enjoying a simple meal with his girlfriend or a friend of his when [Allen] was brutally attacked by an individual.”
Moore claimed that an Instagram user had identified the location in a photo of the couple’s supper. He said that a Black man assaulted the rapper inside the eatery and demanded his belongings. According to Moore, PnB Rock “had a large amount of jewellery and other valuables.”
After exchanging words with the victim, the suspect shot the latter several times before driving off in a getaway car in an unkown location, according to Muniz. According to Muniz, the woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she passed away at 1:59 p.m. She claimed that nobody is in jail and that the suspect currently has very little information available.
Moore stated that Mr. PnB Rock was shot, died, and lost his life there due to the jewellery and valuables he was carrying. There were numerous cameras and investigative leads that we will explore to solve this case as our investigation progresses.
On its Facebook page, the well-known Los Angeles eatery expressed its condolences to the rapper.
The post stated, “His demise signifies a huge loss to each and every one of us.” The safety of our employees and visitors is our top priority, and we have and will continue to keep our place of business as safe as possible. “Our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers go to the Allen family at this difficult time.”
