US rapper, PnB Rock has been reportedly shot dead in an apparent robbery at a Los Angeles restaurant that took place on Monday.
PnB Rock was with his girlfriend when a gunman reportedly asked for jewellery from him before opening fire inside a waffle house in the south of the city.
Police later discovered PnB Rock with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead in hospital 45 minutes later.
However, no arrests have yet been made over Monday’s shooting.
Los Angeles Police Department Capt Kelly Muniz said a suspect approached a couple inside Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles and demanded they hand over personal items.
She told reporters at the scene this led to “some sort of verbal exchange” before the victim was shot several times and fell to the floor.
The suspect then “removed items from the victim”, she said, before running to a waiting getaway car and fleeing the scene.
US media has said law enforcement sources confirmed the rapper was the target of the attack.
