PnB Rock's fiancee Stephanie Sibounheuang recalled the moment the rapper saved her life after a gunman opened fire on the couple two years ago.
The mother of the late rapper's four-year-old daughter took the stand on Tuesday, July 30, and told a detailed account of what happened inside Roscoe's Chicken 'N Waffles in Los Angeles on September 12, 2022. According to Rolling Stone, Sibounheuang said she thought the 17-year-old suspect was a fan trying to get a photo until he pulled out a gun.
“He said, ‘If you don’t give me the jewelry, I’m going to blow her head off,’” Sibounheuang told the jury.
“He had the gun on my man’s face, on it, touching it,” she continued. She noted how the Philly rapper, born Rakim Allen, put his hands up before he moved to protect her. “He got shot, and he like pushed me to the wall and threw me under the table. The (gunman) just kept shooting. I was telling him, ‘Stop shooting him, are you trying to kill him?’”
At that point, the gunman began to steal the jewelry from Allen's body while he was dying. Sibounheuang said she went to reach for her phone call for help when the gunman questioned her. She testified that he pointed the gun at her because he may have thought she had a gun. Afterward, the suspect escaped with Allen's jewelry and her $60,000 Audemars Piguet watch.
“He said, ‘Whoa, whoa, what are you grabbing?’" she said on the stand. "He was pointing his gun at me. I think he thought I had a gun. I thought I was dead.”
Sibounheuang testified in the trial of two defendants Freddie Trone and Tremont Jones. The two men were not inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting. Trone was charged with one count of murder, two counts of robbery, and one count of conspiracy. His 17-year-old son was the shooter. Jones was charged with. Jones was charged with two counts of robbery, one count of conspiracy, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. They pleaded not guilty to the charges. After her testimony, Sibounheuang called her late fiancé "heroic."
“He’s heroic," she said. "He’s a hero. [Other men] would never."
