Update: Rapper PnB Rock Shot & Killed At Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles In Los Angeles

Update #1: Very sad news. PnB Rock has died, according to the LA Times. The update was reported by police on the scene.

Original Story: Rapper/singer PnB Rock has been shot while dining with his girlfriend at a Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles restaurant.

According to reports, the shooting took place on Monday afternoon (September 12) in Los Angeles, California. Authorities were called to the Inglewood location at 1:23pm for a call of a shooting victim. Video footage has since surfaced online where restaurant employees can be seen in a panic as the Philadelphia rapper laid on the ground.

PnB Rock, born Rakim Allen, was reportedly transported to a nearby hospital in the L.A. area. PnB Rock, 30, is speculated to have been dining at the restaurant with his girlfriend, who uploaded a photo of the meal and their location in South Central on social media, which appears to have led to PnB being shot.

According to a source connected to the restaurant, it appears the shooter targeted the artist since no one else was shot or assaulted, and there were plenty of customers inside the restaurant. The inside source added that it appears the shooter took jewelry off PnB then proceeded to flee the scene. The “Selfish” singer had posted a video of himself wearing several diamond/silver chains prior to the incident.

His condition is currently unknown at this time.
