PnB Rock was shot and killed during a robbery at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles on Monday (Sept. 12) afternoon, the L.A. Times reports. The Philadelphia-born star was reportedly eating at the establishment with his girlfriend, according to law enforcement.

The Times reports that Los Angeles police Capt. Kelly Muniz said a shooting took place at 1:15 p.m. at the famous eatery on Main Street and Manchester Avenue. Muniz said a suspect wielded a firearm in the restaurant, demanding items from the victim. Sources told The Times that Rock was targeted for his jewelry.

“He shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot,” Muniz said, sharing that the victim was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m

LAPD officials have been examining security video from inside the restaurant to try and identify the shooter; and also checking surrounding businesses to see whether security systems captured any pertinent images.

Born Rakim Allen, Rock moved to Los Angeles almost a decade ago, after landing a record deal with Atlantic Records. In 2019, he released his official debut album, TrapStar Turnt PopStar. He'd scored major hits with Meek Mill’s “Dangerous” and YFN Lucci’s “Everyday We Lit."

He leaves behind two young children.
