A father who sent his 17-year-old son to kill rapper PnB Rock has been sentenced to 31 years to life in prison.<\/b><\/p>\n

PnB, real name Rakim Hasheem Allen, was shot dead in front of his girlfriend inside a Los Angeles restaurant by a masked gunman.<\/p>\n

Freddie Trone, 42, had denied ordering his teenage son to carry out the killing in September 2022, and his defence told a trial he was only an accessory after the crimes,\u00a0according to The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But in August he was found guilty of murder, two counts of second-degree robbery and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A second defendant, Tremont Jones, was convicted of two counts of second-degree robbery, and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery, and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0released after Monday’s sentencing, LA County District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n said: “Today, justice has been served with the sentencing of two men for the tragic and senseless murder.<\/p>\n

“His life was cut short by an act of violence that no family should have to endure.”<\/p>\n

Both sides agreed in court that Trone’s son had walked into Roscoe\u2019s Chicken & Waffles and shot the rapper before robbing him of jewellery.<\/p>\n

Now 19, he was charged with murder but has not yet been found competent to stand trial.<\/p>\n

Trone’s legal team said he planned to appeal against his own sentence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
