US musician PnB Rock was fatally shot during what appears to have been a robbery at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old artist was inside a waffle restaurant in the south of the city with his girlfriend when the gunman allegedly demanded jewelry before starting to fire.
and was discovered by police with multiple gunshot wounds; 45 minutes later, he was declared dead in the hospital.
Over the incident on Monday, no arrests have been made as of yet.
According to Capt Kelly Muniz of the Los Angeles Police Department, a suspect approached a couple eating at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles and demanded they hand over personal belongings.
This resulted in “some sort of verbal exchange,” she informed reporters on the scene before the victim was shot many times and knocked to the ground.
She claimed that after “removing goods from the victim,” the suspect sped off to a waiting getaway vehicle.
According to US media, law enforcement officials have established that the rapper was the attack’s intended victim.
Since then, tributes have poured in for PnB Rock, actual name Rakim Hasheem Allen, who gained notoriety with the release of his 2016 single Selfish and worked with musicians like Ed Sheeran.
Rapper Offset wrote a Twitter eulogy asking followers to pray for PnB’s two children, and superstar Drake shared a photo of the couple on his Instagram account.
Others noted that the incident occurred after the passing of Pop Smoke, a fellow rapper who was killed in a Hollywood Hills burglary in February.
It’s been claimed that his assassins were able to locate his address as a result of him unintentionally posting it on social media.
Rappers’ safety has come up in conversation after the most recent shooting when it was alleged that an Instagram photo of PnB and his partner may have disclosed the whereabouts of the couple.
The rapper was recently questioned by DJ Akademiks, who runs a well-liked hip-hop YouTube channel, about an earlier attempt to rob him.
While everything was going on, Cardi B confronted those who had accused Stephanie Sibounheuang, PnB Rock’s girlfriend, of uploading the picture.
It was “irresponsible and disrespectful” to hold Stephanie responsible for “something so awful,” she said, adding that it was “extremely unlikely” that the suspects had located them online.
In 1991, Philadelphia saw the birth of PnB Rock, who went on to release the studio albums Catch These Vibes and Trapstar Turnt PopStar.
Just two days before the incident, he released his most recent single, Luv Me Again.
