PnB Rock has been shot de@d after his girlfriend shared a live location
The Philadelphian Rapper Rakim Hasheem Allen has been shot dead after his girlfriends shared a live location of them in an eatery
PnB Rock was killed in a South Los Angeles shooting while getting robbed on Monday afternoon. The L.A. Times reported the news and the LAPD confirmed to Complex that a victim was fatally shot.
Born Rakim Hasheem Allen, the Philadelphia native was 30 years old. He leaves behind two young daughters.
The Times wrote that the shooting happened at 1:15 p.m. at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles as PnB Rock was “being robbed of his jewelry.” TMZ said law enforcement received a call about the incident at 1:23 p.m. and that graphic footage circulating online showed him “fighting for his life.” Police told media the victim was pronounced dead at a hospital at 1:59 p.m.
“The victim was sitting at a table eating with a female witness when he was approached by the suspect,” Los Angeles Police Capt. Kelly Muniz says in one of the clips below, without naming PnB Rock. “The suspect then brandished a firearm and demanded his property. … The suspect then fired multiple rounds and then appears to remove some property, to what extent we don’t know at this time.”
The Times says Muniz also revealed the suspect “shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot.” A TMZ source indicated it “appears the shooter targeted PnB, because no one else was shot or assaulted.”
The artist’s girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang, with whom he shared 2-year-old daughter Xuri, reportedly posted and deleted that they were eating at Roscoe’s on her Instagram Stories. Sibounheuang co-starred in his “Need Somebody” music video (below) in April 2021, with PnB writing at the time, “Quarantine put me and bae relationship to the test...mainly my fuckups but we been thuggin’ it out and goin’ thru all this shit just make us stronger.”
