After sending his 17-year-old son to rob and kill PnB Rock, Freddie Lee Trone, 42, was found guilty last month on one count of murder, two counts of robbery, and one count of conspiracy to conduct robbery.
A judge ruled that the child was unable to stand trial when he entered the celebrity-favored Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles in September 2022, fatally shooting the 30-year-old artist and stealing his jewelry.
The mother and his fiancée, Stephanie Sibounheuang, were dining with the Philadelphia hip-hop artist, whose real name was Rakim Hasheem Allen.
Shortly after yelling, “If you don’t give me the jewellery, I’m going to blow her head off,” the man in the ski mask started shooting at Allen, according to Rolling Stone.
When the firing started, Ms. Sibounheuang told the court Allen “threw” her under the table. A postmortem revealed that Allen had been shot twice in the back and once in the chest.
Trone’s defense team, which intends to file an appeal, claimed the elder man was just an accessory after the fact, despite the prosecution’s claims that he was carrying out his father’s instructions.
