Atlantic Records released this statement:

This news is heavy on our hearts and we are all hurting over this senseless loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

The label continued:

PnB Rock was more than an artist. To many, Rakim Allen was a great friend. He was also a wonderful father to two beautiful little girls.

DJ Akademiks reports:

A week ago.. PNB Rock talked about a prior situation where he felt some people were trying to do something to him.

According to NBC News, the shooter approached the artist and the two began arguing. Before shooting PnB, the suspect robbed him of his jewelry and fled the scene. Authorities say the suspect left in a car but did not disclose whether or not he was the driver. The shooter remains at large and no description has been released to the public.
