Man Convicted of Killing PnB Rock Sentenced to 31 Years to Life
PnB Rock‘s convicted killer Freddie Lee Trone has reportedly been sentenced to 31 years to life in prison for his role in the rapper’s death back in 2022.
PnB Rock’s Killer Sentenced
On Monday (Sept. 23), local Los Angeles outlet KTLA reported that Freddie Lee Trone, who was convicted last month of killing PnB Rock at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in 2022, was sentenced to 31 years to life in prison.
On Aug. 7, Trone was found guilty of murder, two counts of robbery and one count of conspiracy in connection to Rock’s murder in South Los Angeles. Trone’s co-defendant Tremont Jones, who informed Trone of Rock’s whereabouts on the day of the murder, was also found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Prosecutors had argued that Trone sent his teenage son into the restaurant to rob and kill PnB Rock and also served as the getaway driver. The younger Trone is charged with first-degree murder. However, he was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial.
XXL has reached out to PnB Rock’s team for further comment.
