The man who allegedly shot and killed rapper PnB Rock in South Los Angeles earlier this month has been identified as Freddie Lee Trone. The Los Angeles Police Department released the name and photo of the man on Wednesday. 

The rapper, whose real name was Rakim Hasheem Allen, was shot while he was dining with his girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles on September 12. 

Police believe that Trone approached PnB Rock and demanded his jewelry and other valuables. He then shot him several times in front of his girlfriend. The suspect then fled the restaurant in a waiting vehicle.

Investigators believe a social media post may have tipped the suspect to the rapper’s location. 

According to reports, Sibounheuang posted the their location on Instagram and the rapper also shared a video of himself wearing expensive jewelry.

He “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,” Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said, Los Angeles Times reported.
