PnB Rock’s murder suspect was reportedly arrested on Wednesday (September 28).
According to TMZ, the 17-year-old son of Freddie Lee Trone — the man police believe drove the getaway vehicle — was taken into custody presumably on charges of first-degree murder.
Sources said the father-son duo was already waiting for PnB Rock in the parking lot of Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles, which seems to negate the theory a location-tagged social media post from the rapper’s girlfriend contributed to his death.
Trone is currently on the run and has been labeled “armed and dangerous.” Police are asking for the public’s help in locating him.
PnB Rock was killed on September 12 as he ate lunch with the mother of his two children. The killer made off with several gold and diamond chains Rock was wearing at the time. The court of public opinion initially blamed Rock’s partner for posting their meal on Instagram, inadvertently revealing their whereabouts.
But those familiar with Los Angeles knew better. As Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince wrote on Instagram at the time: “RIP to @pnbrock and my condolences to his family, friends and fans. To all of you dumb mothafuckas blaming his girlfriend for his death, you’re wrong as 2 left shoes.
“Here’s a woman that’s been traumatized by seeing her boyfriend killed in front of her and you dumb fucks are adding insult to injury with dumb shit that you dont know to be facts.”

PnB Rock was just 30 at the time of his death. He was laid to rest during a Muslim funeral service in Philadelphia on September 21, which took place at the Khadijah Alderman Funeral Home on 1924 W. Hunting Park Avenue.
The service sheet showed a photo of Rock with “In Loving Memory of Rakim Allen, December 9, 1991 – September 12, 2022” on the front, and included a copy of the Janazah prayer.
Bottom line if the post hadntbwent up on social media, the killers wouldnt have known PNB Rock was there and he would be alive today. So yeah, it is the girlfriends fault. If you wanna toss some blame on PNB Rock himself for authorizing the post, fine. But it was still her idea. So its her fault. Stop trying to put the blame elsewhere to avoid hurting her feelings or making her feel dumb. Its her fault for disregarding what happened to pop smoke. Dont act like she wasnt aware of that incident. Fuck social media.
I know PNB Rock probably thought since dude was young he wasnt deadly. Anyone with a gun is.
I know right, talk about hearing “run them chains” from a youngin’ with a shaky fearful voice. You would think that dude prolly cappin’ until the plastic goes off!!! RIP PNB!!!
Justice for PnB Rock!
Killer trained by his father, smh. Know why other people from different countries don’t respect black Americans? Because we don’t value our families. Setting up the next generation for failure smh
These are tethers bka black immigrants. These are not FBA so take that racist shit to reddit, clown.
freddie lee trone? black immigrant from where? memphis? both of y’all clowns
Black Americans are not respected. Black people in this country need to realize how other people see us. This country is making sure illegal immigrants are taken care of while our neighborhoods are being destroyed. Wake up
That don’t even make sense Father probably said take this charge because he not 18..sad father put him in that
Do not blame a man and his son. Blame the ones who put their location out there for anyone to see.
Damn. Well, Im still wormfood lol
It’s sad frfr especially me being Born and raise from Philly and being Muslim myself word to Allah! It’s sad, pops need to be hold more Accountable than the son like go rob that man for his shit not shoot the man or kill him, im not saying teach yo kids that but if you gonna be from the Gutta and life’s hard you a old head that stuck in the ways of not having a fair shot at life, show him better JUST SAYING in the fathers eyes show ya son better, not be a killa I don’t Cadome robbery, JUST SAYING someone else can’t have a fair shot in life or neva had a fair shot In life it gonna look ugly but SHOULDNT AND NEVER SHOULD BE A Devastating moment where you throw your life away on that moment, robbery is one thing an thats all I gotta say, I would say this that pnb’s girl is at fault just as much is the pop and son is, that my take on it nobody isn’t gonna like what I say and that’s 1000% fine nor agree an thats fine too I hope the family really does find peace at some point, Allah u Akbar, Rakim Allen ✌? ??
17 year old Me: Hey dad, let’s go shoot at rapper at the waffle shop.
My Dad: You say the stupidest shit sometimes. Go rake the lawn until I tell you you can come inside.
17 year old Me: Dad, it’s December in New England…
My Dad (mumbling): should’ve wore a bag.
No wonder, we, as black people are in a trouble… this is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever tried to read.
Coolio here with me too
Said excuse for a human being
*Sad
Do some of you mf’s read or just want to rant: It clearly states, the suspects were already waiting in the parking lot, so the gf’s post didn’t have anything to do with robbery/murder.
