It is being reported by multiple outlets that Rapper Pnb Rock has been shot in the chest at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in LA.
He was conscious at the time of the shooting but passed away shortly thereafter at the hospital.
It appears his girlfriend might have alerted the shooters to his location with a post on social media, and they decided to try to rob and take him out in the middle of the day here in Los Angeles. It is also possible that anyone at the restaurant possibly let people know they had a famous rapper eating there.
No one knows for sure, but it is always best, especially if you are a well-known figure, not to share your location until you have left the establishment.
