LOS ANGELES — A teenager is in custody in the slaying of rapper PnB Rock, who was gunned down two weeks ago at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles in South L.A., a law enforcement source confirmed to the Los Angeles Times. Police are searching for a second suspect they describe as armed and dangerous.
The second suspect has been identified by authorities as Freddie Lee Trone, whose photograph was released by investigators on Wednesday in an effort to track him down and arrest him. Authorities believe Trone was involved in the rapper’s killing, which occurred during a violent robbery inside the Manchester Avenue eatery on Sept. 12.
In the attack at Roscoe’s, a gunman demanded jewelry and other valuables before getting into a struggle with PnB and opening fire, LAPD Chief Michel Moore said.
