An arrest is reported to have been made in connection with the ongoing investigation into the murder of PnB Rock.
Per a regional NBC report, the Los Angeles Police Department has “made at least one arrest” in the case. A second individual alleged to have been involved in the murder, identified as Freddie Lee Trone, is said to still be at large.
TMZ also reported on the identification of Trone, adding that police have described him as “armed and dangerous.”
Complex has reached out to an LAPD rep for additional comment.
PnB Rock, 30, was fatally shot during a robbery at a restaurant in Los Angeles on Sept. 12. “The victim was sitting at a table eating with a female witness when he was approached by the suspect,” LAPD Captain Kelly Muniz said at the time, adding that the suspect ultimately “brandished a firearm and demanded his property.”
Drake, Nicki Minaj, Trippie Redd, Meek Mill, Yg, and more later paid tribute to Rock. In a since-removed IG post, Trippie remembered Rock’s early words of encouragement and proposed that record labels should take on the responsibility of hiring guards for artists.
“That’s one thing I used to tell [XXXTentacion] is let’s stop riding around in the i8 just me and u,” Trippie said.
