Accused Teen Shooter in PnB Rock Murder Found Unfit to Stand Trial

PnB Rock’s alleged shooter has been deemed unfit to stand trial, according to a recent ruling by a Los Angeles judge.

If you recall, the rare decision follows the 2022 murder of the rapper during a robbery at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles.

Get this, the judge determined that the young man accused of killing PnB Rock still lacks the “necessary competency” to participate in legal proceedings. “The recommendation is that the previous orders remain,” Commissioner Bradford stated. “The proceedings remain suspended, remediation continues.”

The trial is well underway and the ruling comes after Los Angeles County jurors heard opening statements in PnB Rock’s trial. The unnamed teenager, who was 17 years old at the time of the shooting, appeared in court on Friday. According to police, he allegedly walked into the restaurant after being dropped off, shot Rock in the chest, and then shot him again in the back after he fell to the floor.

Disturbingly, the teen’s father, Freddie Trone, and stepmother, Shauntel Trone, were also charged with accessory after the fact in connection with Rock’s murder. Here’s where their fate’s stand:

Freddie Trone has pleaded not guilty to murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit a felony. 

Shauntel Trone avoided trial by accepting a plea deal. 

And another man, Tremont Jones, has pleaded not guilty to charges of robbery, conspiracy, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. 

All senseless and disturbing. PnB Rock deserves justice. 

This may be resolved soon as a follow-up hearing has been scheduled for next month.
