RAKIM ALLEN, ALSO KNOWN AS RnB ROCK, WAS AN AMERICAN RAPPER WHO DIED

RnB Rock shot dead at a Los Angeles restaurant after his girlfriend shared their location on Instagram.

On Monday afternoon, September 12, he was shot dead during a robbery at a restaurant in South Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old Philadelphia rapper was with his girlfriend at the restaurant, who had posted a location-tagged photo in a since-deleted Instagram post.

According to Los Angeles police Capt. Kelly Muniz, a suspect brandished a firearm inside the restaurant and demanded items from the victim.

According to the Times, Rock was targeted because of his jewelry. During the robbery, the assailant shot the victim almost immediately, according to Muniz.

"He shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot," she said. Adding that the victim was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m.

This comes just two weeks after the rapper spoke in an interview about the rash of robberies in Los Angeles and how rappers like him are seen as easy targets.
