PNB Rock Murder Suspect Found Guilty


Two years ago Philly rapper PNB Rock was shot and killed while being robbed inside a Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in California [click here if you missed that]. 

Today two men connected with the crime were found guilty...

From Fox 11
A 42-year-old man was convicted Wednesday in the robbery and shooting death of rapper PnB Rock at South Los Angeles restaurant two years ago.
After less than three hours of deliberations, the Compton jury found Freddie Trone guilty of one count each of felony murder and conspiracy to commit robbery, along with two counts of second-degree robbery involving the 30- 30-year-old rapper and his fiancé.
Also convicted Wednesday was co-defendant Tremont Jones, 46, who was found guilty of two counts of second-degree robbery and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery. He was not charged with murder.
The defendants were charged along with Trone's then-17-year-old son. His case is currently in juvenile court while he undergoes treatment to determine if he can be found mentally competent to stand trial.
PnB Rock, whose real name is Rakim Allen, was shot once in the chest and two times in the back by an assailant in a ski mask who demanded his jewelry and threatened to kill the rapper's girlfriend while the two were eating lunch on Sept. 12, 2022, at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles, on West Manchester Avenue.
