Suspect In PnB Rock’s Murder Says He Never Sent Teen Son To Kill Rapper

LOS ANGELES – A man charged with murder in the death of PnB Rock testified Monday that he didn’t send his 17-teen-year-old son to rob and kill the rapper.

Freddie Trone told a prosecutor during cross-examination in a courtroom, “I never had nothing to do with it. I wasn’t there. I didn’t tell nobody to do nothing. I didn’t hand nobody a gun,: according to AP.

The 42-year-old took the stand, continuing his testimony in the murder trial. Trone is charged with one count of murder, two counts of second-degree robbery and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery.

Prosecutors say the teen, who is in juvenile detention, and hasn’t been tried, acted on his father’s instructions to rob and shoot the Philly rapper as he was eating inside of Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles on Sep. 12, 2022, with his daughter’s mother in Los Angeles.

Trone’s lawyers are saying he was only an accessory after the fact, and he was trying to help his son.

Both sides agree that teen who was recently found temporarily incompetent to stand trial, shot PnB once in the chest and twice in the back.

A third co-defendant, Tremont Jones, who isn’t charged with murder, has pleaded to two counts of robbery, one count of conspiracy, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Prosecutors allege that Jones told Trone and his son where the rapper was location, so they could allegedly rob him.
