The Times says Muniz also revealed the suspect “shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot.” A TMZ source indicated it “appears the shooter targeted PnB because no one else was shot or assaulted.”

PnB Rock’s girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang, with whom he shared 2-year-old daughter Xuri, reportedly posted and deleted that they were eating at Roscoe’s on her Instagram Stories.

Sibounheuang co-starred inl his “Need Somebody” music video (below) in April 2021, with PnB writing at the time, “Quarantine put me and bae relationship to the test…mainly my fuckups but we been thuggin’ it out and goin’ thru all this shit just make us stronger.”
