"We're so numb to this sh*t": Internet admonishes those circulating PnB Rock death video after rapper was shot in cold blood

Rapper PnB Rock was robbed and fatally shot in south Los Angeles on Monday, September 12. The shooting took place at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles.

Soon after, a disturbing video of PnB Rock covered in blood after being shot has appeared online. Netizens are now requesting everyone on social media to not circulate the same.

Noting that the video should have never made it to the internet, one person said, "We're so numb to this sh*t." The user added that people lack the common decency to not share such videos.

The Times reported that the shooting occurred at the Main Street and Manchester Avenue Inglewood restaurant after the 30-year-old was “robbed of his jewelry.” TMZ reported that PnB Rock was dining with his girlfriend at the venue.

Law enforcement reportedly received a call about the shooting at 1:23 pm, and the victim was pronounced dead at 1:59 pm after being transported to the hospital.

Without naming the rapper, Capt. Kelly Muniz of the Los Angeles Police said:

“The victim was sitting at a table eating with a female witness when he was approached by the suspect. 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.”

Capt. Muniz also shared that the suspect shot at PnB Rock and fled through the restaurant’s side door to a “getaway car” that stood waiting in the parking lot. TMZ announced that it seemed to be a targeted attack as “no one else was shot or assaulted." The suspect has not been brought into custody at the time of writing this article.

According to Daily Voice, the rapper’s girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, was referred to as the "female witness" by police. Sibounheuang had shared a picture to her Instagram account tagging the location of the restaurant before the shooting. The post has since been deleted.
