AceShowbiz - PnB Rock's suspected murderers have been taken into police custody. A little over two weeks after the tragic incident at the Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles restaurant in Inglewood, Los Angeles, a woman and a 17-year-old man were arrested.
On Wednesday, September 28, TMZ reported that the Los Angeles Police Department took 38-year-old Shauntel Trone into custody after an investigation into the Philadelphia rapper's death led to her being involved.
Shauntel was arrested on Tuesday, September 27 in Gardena, California. She was apprehended with the help of the Los Angeles Police Department's LAPD/FBI Taskforce, Operations-South Bureau LAPD/ATF Taskforce, Operations-South Bureau's Community Safety Unit and South Bureau Homicide Division. She's booked on a charge of accessory to murder. She remains behind bars without bond.
The arrest of Shauntel follows the announcement of the apprehension of an unnamed 17-year-old, who is believed to be her son, on September 27. Police alleged the teen was the one who pulled the trigger, resulting in the shooting death of PnB Rock on September 12.
Just prior to the announcement of the teen's arrest on Wednesday afternoon, the LAPD confirmed that the 17-year-old's father, Freddie Lee Trone, was wanted as a suspect in relation to PnB Rock's murder. Police believe Freddie served as his son's getaway driver after the 17-year-old reportedly shot the late 30-year-old hip-hop star before stripping him of his jewelry. He is currently at large and believed to be "armed and dangerous."
Freddie and his son were said to have already been in the parking lot of the Roscoe's at the time that PnB Rock and his girlfriend arrived at the popular restaurant. This information is contrary to initial reports that a social media post made by PnB Rock's girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang on the day of his tragic passing may have exposed his location to the alleged killer.
PnB Rock's murder took place on September 12 during what appeared to have been an attempted robbery when a masked man entered the Roscoe's at the same time that the "Luv Me Again" rapper was enjoying a meal with his girlfriend Stephanie. Police said the gunman exchanged some words with PnB Rock in the moments leading up to the shooting. The killer also demanded property from PnB Rock's girlfriend before fleeing to the getaway vehicle.
