It has been two years since the world lost PnB Rock, a talented rapper, to violence enabled by gun possession. However, real justice was not served until September 23, 2024.
The talented rapper was fatally gunned down while eating lunch with his girlfriend at a Los Angeles restaurant, and now, the father who instigated his demise by instructing his then 17-year-old son to rob and kill him has been sentenced.
Justice Has Been Served at Last
On Monday, September 23, L.A. Superior Court Judge Connie Quinones sentenced Freddie Lee Trone, 42, to 31 years to life in prison. The sentencing comes weeks after Trone was convicted on August 7 after a jury found him guilty of murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, and two counts of robbery.
Trone’s son, unnamed amidst all the chaos, was charged with murder and scheduled for “mental competency proceedings” in late August. He is now 19 and in a juvenile detention center.

She pleaded no contest to accessory after the fact in July, and her sentencing is scheduled for January 16. Nevertheless, everyone can rest easy knowing the man who set the events that led to the death of PnB Rock in motion has finally gotten his due.
“Today, justice has been served with the sentencing of two men for the tragic and senseless murder of Rakim Hasheem Allen, also known to many as the talented rap artist PnB Rock,” district attorney George Gascón said on September 23.
