Mon Sep 23 22:29:26 UTC 2024: ## PnB Rock’s Killer Sentenced to 31 Years to Life in Prison
**Los Angeles, CA** – Freddie Lee Trone, the man convicted of murdering rapper PnB Rock in 2022, has been sentenced to 31 years to life in prison. The sentencing, announced on Monday, Sept. 23, brings closure to a case that shocked the music industry and devastated Rock’s family.
Trone was found guilty in August of murder, robbery, and conspiracy in connection with Rock’s death at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles. Prosecutors argued that Trone sent his teenage son into the restaurant to rob and kill Rock, and then served as the getaway driver. His co-defendant, Tremont Jones, who provided Trone with information about Rock’s location, was also found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Trone’s son, who is facing first-degree murder charges, was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial. Meanwhile, Trone’s girlfriend, Shauntrel Trone, pleaded no contest to accessory after the fact and will be sentenced in January 2025.
The sentencing marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for PnB Rock’s family, who have been seeking closure for the past three years. Rock’s mother, Deannea Allen, expressed her desire for justice back in August, stating, “I’m here to get justice. I want justice. This was my son, my child.”
This case highlights the devastating impact of gun violence and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable.
