American rapper PnB Rock was shot and killed at a restaurant in Los Angeles on Monday (12.09.2022.)
The gunman who killed PnB Rock at the Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles demanded jewelry and other valuables before getting into a struggle with the rapper and opening fire.
The attack occurred soon after the rapper was tagged online as being at the restaurant, and police are investigating whether that is what prompted the attack.
Rock, 30, whose real name was Rakim Allen, had been at the restaurant with his girlfriend, who had posted a location-tagged photo in a since-deleted Instagram post.
According to reports, Rock was targeted for his jewelry. The gunman brandished a firearm in the restaurant and demanded items from the victim. Rock was shot almost immediately by the assailant during the robbery.
The victim was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m.
Rock was born on the 9th of December, 1991, in Philadelphia. He told Paper magazine he was inspired to make music at age 19 after hearing Drake’s decade-defining album “Take Care.”
Rock’s death comes as authorities say they are up against a rising trend of “follow home” robberies and other violent incidents.
In February 2020, Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke, whose real name was Bashar Barakah Jackson, was killed during a home invasion in the Hollywood Hills.
