On Monday afternoon, PnB Rock, the Philadelphia rapper best known for his 2016 hit “Selfish,” was fatally shot during a robbery at the Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles.
According to Los Angeles Police Capt. Kelly Muniz, a shooting occurred at 1:15 p.m. at the well-known restaurant on Main Street and Manchester Avenue.
Rock, 30, was at the restaurant with his girlfriend, who had posted a location-tagged photo in a since-deleted Instagram post.
Inside the restaurant, a suspect brandished a firearm and demanded items from the victim, according to Muniz. According to trusted sources, Rock was targeted because of his jewelry.
During the robbery, the assailant shot the victim almost immediately, according to Muniz.
“He shot the victim and fled the parking lot through the side door,” she said.
According to Muniz, the victim was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m.
