Man found guilty in rapper PnB Rock murder trial
A Los Angeles jury has convicted a man in the shooting death of rapper PnB Rock.
Freddie Lee Trone was found guilty of felony murder, robbery and conspiracy at a Compton Superior Court on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident occurred at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in South Los Angeles in 2022.
PnB Rock, whose real name is Rakim Allen, was dining at the establishment when investigators claimed Trone sent his teenage son to rob and kill the 30-year-old.
Prosecutors argued that the 41-year-old father was the one who orchestrated the deadly robbery and was his son’s getaway driver.
Trone’s co-defendant, Tremont Jones, was also found guilty of robbery and conspiracy.
Sentencing for Trone is set for Aug. 27.
