Trone, on the other hand, insisted that he only helped his son after the shooting had already been carried out. “I understand you’re trying to put together your story,” he told prosecutors earlier this week, “I never had nothing to do with it, I wasn’t there. I didn’t tell nobody to do nothing, I didn’t hand nobody no gun.” Clearly, the jury wasn’t buying his story. Dates for Trone and Jones’ sentencing have yet to be announced.

The news comes shortly after PnB Rock’s mother, Deanna Allen, called Trone out in an interview outside of the courtroom. “His lies are ridiculous. That is ridiculous. The surveillance should speak for itself,” she told Rolling Stone. “They’re trying to say they had nothing to do with it. It’s unacceptable. My son was a beautiful person.” What do you think of PnB Rock’s accused killer being found guilty in court today? Are you surprised or not?

Freddie Trone, one of the men accused of murdering PnB Rock, took the stand to testify in the trial regarding the rapper’s murder on Monday. In doing so, he denied the prosecution’s claim that he drove his 17-year-old son to Roscoe’s Chicken ‘N Waffles and gave him a weapon with instructions to rob Rock.

“I understand you’re trying to put together your story,” Trone said during cross-examination, as caught by Rolling Stone. “I never had nothing to do with it, I wasn’t there, I didn’t tell nobody to do nothing, I didn’t hand nobody no gun.” He also admitted he left Roscoe’s parking lot in his Buick Enclave around 1:14 PM on the day of the shooting, but claimed he didn’t return six minutes later after picking up his son. Instead, his legal team says he went to his beauty supply shop to use the bathroom. He left his car keys on a counter nearby, but when he finished up, the keys and his son were missing.

Rock’s fiancée, Stephanie Sibounheuang, previously gave testimony detailing his final moments. Closing arguments in the case have since begun. “Freddie Trone knew the dangers of sending his 17-year-old son in there with a ski mask, semiautomatic weapon and mission,” Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Timothy Richardson told the jury. “This is the same time that a robbery and a murder is being committed, and you don’t want to tell the jury who [the driver] is? It’s because they don’t exist. It’s another lie.”

Trone faces one count of murder, two counts of robbery, and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery. Another man, Tremont Jones, is also facing charges for his alleged role in locating Rock and providing a murder weapon. He faces two counts of robbery and one count of conspiracy. Closing arguments in the trial will continue on Tuesday. Be on the lookout for further updates on the murder trial for PnB Rock’s death on HotNewHipHop.
