L.A. Police Believe PnB Rock Was Fatally Shot After Instagram Post Revealed His Location
Police are sharing more details about PnB Rock‘s death a day after the rapper was gunned down at a popular L.A. restaurant.
On Monday, PnB Rock – real name Rakim Hasheem Allen – was shot and killed while eating lunch with his girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles.
A suspect approached the “Fleek” rapper and ordered him to hand over jewelry and other items. Moments later, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot PnB Rock several times. The rapper, who was 30 years old, died shortly after and the suspect fled in a getaway car.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said it was likely an Instagram post alerted the assailant to the rapper’s location, per The Los Angeles Times.
PnB Rock’s most recent Twitter post included a video of him smoking inside a vehicle and a woman driving. He flashed a white, jewel-encrusted Audemars Piguet watch in the post, which was published Monday afternoon.

PnB Rock “was with his family — with his girlfriend or some kind of friend of his — and as they’re there, enjoying a simple meal, [he] was brutally attacked by an individual who apparently [came] to the location after a social media posting,” said Moore, according to The Times.
A graphic video of the aftermath of the shooting shows the rapper alive but severely injured. Someone asks how old he is and a woman is heard saying, “He’s 30.”
No one else was injured in the restaurant, according to KTLA.
The suspect is still at large and has not been identified by authorities.
Social media was not too happy with the police update of information they’d already heard days prior through the social media grapevine.
Many social media users responded and basically said “We already heard that. Let us know when you catch the killers.
