New details surrounding the murder of PnB Rock, first reported by Rolling Stone, reveal how one family’s efforts to cover up the alleged murder led investigators right to their doorstep.
PnB Rock was allegedly shot to death by a 17-year-old gunman on September 12, 2022, at a Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles in South Los Angeles, after the gunman demanded that the performer hand over all his jewelry.
The Philadelphia rapper “had no time to react or say anything,” an LAPD detective testified during a probable cause hearing, citing an interview with PnB Rock’s girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang.
Authorities believe that Freddie Lee Trone, the father of the alleged shooter, helped organize, as well as cover up, the murder, and that Shauntel Trone, the teen’s stepmother, was an accomplice.
On Monday, it was revealed in court that two new suspects were charged with robbery and helping a suspect flee the state.
