The suspect then pulled out a gun “and demanded his property” before shooting several times “and appears to remove some property,” Muniz added.

He was later declared dead at 1:59 p.m. local time, said Muniz, adding that the South Bureau Homicide will be investigating the case along with “many other detectives.”

Although authorities did not name Allen, witnesses at the scene identified him.

Graphic video shared by TMZ showed Allen lying in a pool of blood inside the restaurant.

In a video shared on social media, a witness claims the robbery was related to jewelry.

No one else in the restaurant was injured, according to KTLA.

The rapper’s girlfriend, IG model Stephanie Sibounheuang shared in a since-deleted Instagram Story –– which was shared online by fans –– a video of her meal at the restaurant shortly before the shooting.
