PnB Rock's death has been officially ruled a homicide.

The 30-year-old rapper was killed after being shot in the back and chest; the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled Friday.

He died in the hospital, the coroner reported.

On Monday, PnB Rock — real name Rakim Hasheem Allen — was fatally shot while eating lunch with his girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang at Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles.

A suspect, who has not yet been identified by authorities and is still at large, approached the "Fleek" rapper and ordered him to hand over jewelry and other items. Moments later, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot PnB Rock several times.
