PnB Rockās family scored a major victory on August 7th, when suspects Freddie Trone and Tremont Jones were convicted for the rapperās 2022 murder.
According to a tweet fromĀ Rolling StoneĀ reporter Nancy Dillion, Trone was found guilty of felony murder, two counts of robbery and one count of conspiracy, while Jones was found guilty of robbery and conspiracy. The jury took less than two hours to deliberate. Rockās mother, Deannea Allen, told the publication she was āelatedā shortly after the verdict was read. Trone is the father of the 17-year-old shooter, who was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial and is currently in custody of the juvenile system. During the trial, prosecution told the jury Trone and his son went to the Roscoeās Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles after being tipped off by Jones that Rock was dining there.
The State alleged Trone instructed his son to go in and rob the rapper, who was shot and relieved of his jewelry by the teen in front of the rapperās fiancĆ©e, Stephanie Sibounheuang. Troneās defense team argued he only helped his son after the fact and had no part in setting up or masterminding the robbery.
