LOS ANGELES - A search was continuing Tuesday for the person who gunned down rapper PnB Rock inside a well-known South Los Angeles restaurant, with police saying a social media post apparently led the attacker to the eatery to rob the singer of his jewelry.
Witnesses said the suspect and the victim argued during the shooting, which was captured on the restaurant's video surveillance system.Born Rakim Hasheem Allen in Philadelphia, PnB Rock, 30, was based in Los Angeles at the time of his death. The rapper was"apparently with his girlfriend or a friend of his and as they're there enjoying a simple meal was brutally attacked by an individual who apparently ... came to the location after a social media posting of the artist and his accompanying him, posting on Instagram a picture of a meal at a location that was tagged," Moore told the Police Commission Tuesday morning.
Investigators were examining security video from inside the restaurant to identify the shooter, Moore said.
