Freddie Trone, 42, was found guilty of multiple charges, including murder, two counts of second-degree robbery and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery, after the Philadelphia hip-hop star was shot dead in September 2022.

The rapper was eating at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, who is the mother of his four-year-old child, when the teen - wearing a ski mask - walked into the restaurant, demanded the artist's jewellery and opened fire.

Police said the teen removed items from the victim then fled in a waiting getaway car, which Trone was accused of driving, according to local media.

PnB suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at a local hospital less than an hour later.
