Rest in peace, PnB.
PnB Rock has died after being shot during a robbery while dining with his girlfriend at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in Inglewood. He was 30.
The LA Times reports police responded to a call for a shooting victim at 1:15 p.m. inside the restaurant. PnB Rock was rushed to the hospital minutes after the shooting and was pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m.
Police say no patrons were harmed and the Philly rapper was targeted for his jewelry. Earlier in the day, the PnB posted an Instagram story with his jewelry. His girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang also shared an Instagram story tagging the restaurant’s location.
The suspect brandished a firearm inside the restaurant and demanded items from PnB Rock. “He shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot,” said Los Angles police Capt. Kelly Muniz.
