PnB Rock, whose real name was Rakim Hasheem Allen, was shot and killed on September 12 during a robbery at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles. Ten days later, Philadelphia’s city council passed a resolution to honor the late rapper.
“The murder of Mr. Allen dimmed a bright light in the lives of his fans, friends, and most importantly, his family,” Los Angeles County’s district attorney George Gascón said in a press statement. “The accused individuals’ alleged actions in this case were heartless and cruel and robbed the world of Mr. Allen’s talents.”
Gasón continued, “I thank the investigators who presented the case to my office. As we do every single day, we will work diligently to make sure that those responsible for taking the life of an innocent victim are held accountable.”
