PnB Rock Murder Trial Opens With Accusations of ‘Guesswork,’ Lack of Evidence

Nearly two years after PnB Rock was gunned down, the two men facing charges related to his murder began their trial.

Nearly two years after hip-hop star PnB Rock was gunned down inside a Roscoe’s Chicken ‘N Waffles in South Los Angeles, prosecutors showed an autopsy photo on a courtroom TV Tuesday as the two men facing charges related to his murder began their trial. Richardson said surveillance video would show that the elder Trone spoke with Jones and another unidentified man outside the restaurant minutes before the shooting and then tried to cover up his and his son’s alleged crimes by setting their getaway car “ablaze” a few blocks from their home. He suggested Allen and Sibounheuang attracted plenty of attention when they walked from their white Mercedes to the front of Roscoe’s “wearing about half a million dollars in jewelry, sparkling in the sun.” He said the conspiracy charge required evidence his client had a “meeting of the minds” with Trone, and that prosecutors had only soundless video and phone records he described as inconclusive.
