Father, son charged in PnB Rock slaying
Three people, including a father and son, have been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of rapper PnB Rock, officials announced Thursday.
Freddie Lee Trone, 40, was charged with one count of murder and conspiracy to commit robbery, along with two counts of second-degree robbery, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
His 17-year-old son faces the same charges, while 38-year-old Shauntel Trone faces one count of accessory after the fact.
The minor and Shauntel Trone were taken into custody Tuesday, while Freddie Lee Trone remains outstanding.
The charges stem from the Sept. 12 shooting of 30-year-old Rakim Allen, known as PnB Rock, at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in the 100 block of West Manchester Avenue.
Allen was dining with his girlfriend when the gunman shot the rapper and removed some of his property before running out of the restaurant and fleeing in a vehicle.
Police initially believed a social media post may have tipped the gunman to the rapper’s location.
Authorities have not released additional information about the fatal encounter, but TMZ reported that the minor was the alleged shooter and Freddie Trone drove the getaway car.
The outstanding suspect should be considered armed and dangerous, and anyone who sees him should call 911.
The teen made his initial appearance Thursday at the Compton Juvenile Court and is scheduled to return on Oct. 19 for a pretrial hearing, officials said.
Shauntel Trone is expected to be arraigned Thursday. Authorities have not disclosed the relationship between her and the other two suspects.
“The murder of Mr. Allen dimmed a bright light in the lives of his fans, friends and most importantly his family,” District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. “The accused individuals’ alleged actions in this case were heartless and cruel and robbed the world of Mr. Allen’s talents.”

“Crime continues to be an overriding issue for New Yorkers. At least 90 percent of voters from every party, region and race say crime is a serious problem in the state, with at least 57 percent saying it’s a very serious problem, including 79 percent of Black voters who say it’s a very serious problem,” Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said.
Watch– Eric Adams Boasts: ‘New York Has a Brand’ and Kansas Does Not
Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams ignited anger on social media Tuesday over comments he made knocking a red state like Kansas for having no “brand” compared to New York.
Speaking at a press conference, Adams boasted about New York’s rich brand while characterizing people from Kansas as bland with nothing interesting to offer.
“We have a brand. New York has a brand. When people see it, it means something,” he said. “Kansas doesn’t have a brand.”
The comment prompted laughter among those around Adams as he went on to say that Kansans are just people from Kansas while New Yorkers share something special.
People on social media rightly noted that Kansas has a rich history and a vibrant culture while New York has become a crime-infested homeless den where only rich elites enjoy its special brand.
The mayor’s statement recalls what comedian Bill Maher said on his HBO show in 2019, suggesting that Republicans in red states are secretly jealous of culturally rich blue states.
“We have a problem in America called spatial geographic inequality which means the most affluent and educated people are clustered in just a few cities,” Maher said. “We have orchestras and theater districts and world-class shopping. We have Chef Wolfgang Puck, they have Chef Boyardee.”
“Maybe that has something to do with why Trump voters are obsessed with ‘owning the libs.’ Because the libs own everything else,” he continued.
Maher then urged Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to start investing in a state like Mississippi to give those voters a better economy and prevent them from voting Republican.
“The blue parts of America are having a big prosperity party while the big sea of red feels like their invitation got lost in the mail — and they still use the mail,” he said. “The fly-over states have become the passed-over states, that’s why red state voters are so pissed off. They don’t hate us, they want to be us.”
