PnB Rock murder trial

Freddie Lee Trone, 42, has been found guilty by a Los Angeles jury for the 2022 murder of rapper PnB Rock, whose real name was Rakim Allen, at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. Trone was convicted of felony murder, two counts of robbery, and conspiracy, while his co-defendant Tremont Jones was also found guilty of robbery and conspiracy. Prosecutors argued that Trone orchestrated the robbery and was the getaway driver, with evidence pointing to his involvement captured on surveillance footage. The jury deliberated for less than four hours before reaching their verdict, much to the relief of PnB Rock's family, who expressed their elation at receiving justice. Sentencing for both Trone and Jones is scheduled for August 27. The alleged shooter, who is Trone's 17-year-old son, was deemed mentally unfit for trial.
