We reported earlier that American rapper PnB Rock was shot dead in a robbery attempt which occurred on Monday, September 12 in Southern LA. The former Atlantic Records rapper was with his girlfriend who shared a photo of their meal at Roscoe’s including their location on Instagram moments before the tragedy.

Since then, Rock’s girlfriend has been blamed for his death and targeted by online abusers even though there’s no evidence that the Instagram post led the assailants to where they were.
