The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on Thursday filed murder charges against a father and son in connection with the shooting death of musical artist PnB Rock.
Freddie Trone, who is wanted by police, and his minor son have each been charged with murder, conspiracy to commit robbery and second-degree robbery, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office. A woman was charged with complicity after the fact.
The minor appeared in juvenile court on Thursday and is due back for a preliminary hearing on October 19. The woman is expected to be arraigned Thursday afternoon.
Trone is considered armed and dangerous, police said, and anyone who sees him should immediately call 911, according to an LAPD news release.
On Tuesday, the LAPD arrested a 32-year-old woman and a young man under the age of 18 whom police “believed to be involved” in the rapper’s death, the statement said.
LAPD had no information about the young man or woman’s relationship to Throne.
PnB Rock’s fatal shooting took place on September 12 while the rapper and his girlfriend were eating at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles on West Manchester Avenue, according to LAPD Chief Michel Moore. The chef identified the rapper by his real name, Rakim Allen.
“[Allen] was brutally attacked by an individual who apparently we believe…came to the scene after a social media post of the artist and the woman accompanying him,” Moore said.
Moore said a photo of the couple’s meal was posted on Instagram, with the location tagged. He said a black man attacked the rapper at the restaurant, demanding his property. PnB Rock “had a large amount of jewelry and other valuables,” Moore said.
Between 2016 and 2019, PnB Rock had eight songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including four in 2019.
The rapper’s latest song, “Luv Me Again,” was released on September 2.
