“The victim was sitting at a table eating with a female witness when he was approached by the suspect,” Los Angeles Police Capt. Kelly Muniz says in one of the footage available to us, without naming PnB Rock. “The suspect then brandished a firearm and demanded his property. … The suspect then fired multiple rounds and then appears to remove some property, to what extent we don’t know at this time.”
According to The Times, Muniz also revealed thay the suspect “shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot.” A TMZ source indicated it “appears the shooter targeted PnB, because no one else was shot or assaulted.”
