The felony complaint starts by describing a mystery man who has yet to be identified. Prosecutors say he saw Allen and his girlfriend arrive at Roscoe’s wearing expensive jewelry. 

Court documents go on to say the mystery man waited outside until Freddie Lee Trone arrived. The two men reportedly had a conversation before Trone left and a short time later, returned to the restaurant with his son who prosecutors said was armed with a gun.

Trone then dropped off his son a short distance away from the restaurant. His son then allegedly entered the restaurant, walked directly to the table where the rapper and his girlfriend were dining and pointed a gun at them. Prosecutors allege the teen was heard saying "Give me all of your jewelry now!"

Moments later, the teen is accused of shooting the rapper in the chest and after he fell to the ground, prosecutors said the teen shot Allen two more times in the back.

The teen then reportedly robbed her and took her jewelry. As the rapper was dying on the restaurant floor, prosecutors said the teenager robbed him  nd took his chains, watch, and pulled his rings off his fingers.

The timeline in the complaint ends with Freddie Lee Trone driving back to Roscoe’s to pick up his son before they went home. Before going home, they parked blocks away and the teen got rid of his shoes and his shirt.

His son, who likely won't be publicly identified because he is a minor, was charged with one count each of murder and conspiracy to commit robbery. He also faces two counts of second-degree robbery and was out on probation at the time of the shooting. He was wearing an ankle monitor that apparently was not being monitored at the time of the deadly shooting. His pretrial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19. 

Freddie Lee Trone was charged with one count of murder and conspiracy to commit robbery and two counts of second-degree robbery. He was arrested in Las Vegas Thursday, where he awaits extradition to Los Angeles.

Shauntel Trone, the boy's stepmom and Freddie Lee Trone's wife, was arraigned Thursday in Compton. She pled not guilty to one count of accessory after the fact. Her involvement is unknown.
