Cops release video of suspects in broad-daylight Bronx murder of LA drill rapper
Cops released new surveillance of five men wanted in connection to the broad-daylight Bronx murder of Los Angeles drill rapper Avanti Frowner.
Frowner, 27, was inside Amazing Pharmacy on East Tremont Avenue near Arthur Avenue around 3:45 p.m. Thursday when he was blasted multiple times in the body and torso, police said.
Four men sought by cops are captured on video released late Friday, and the fifth is shown in a surveillance image.
Frowner, whose stage name is Money Gang Vontae, is a drill rapper from Los Angeles who previously lived in Chicago. He was in town for a show, according to police sources and his dad.
Disturbing footage obtained by the Post Friday shows four of the suspects struggling with Frowner before one man fires off at least four shots.
The group then ran, leaving the helpless victim sprawled out behind the counter with a blood-soaked shirt.
The suspects made off with the victim’s chain and money, sources said.
Frowner was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The last photo posted to the official Money Gang Vontae Instagram account shows the rapper standing in front of a Bronx bodega.
“I Got Use To Counting So Much Money I Got Paper Cuts!!” he wrote.
The rapper’s dad, Roger Frowner, 56, said the suspects “don’t need to be on the streets no more — ever!”
“If they kill somebody in broad daylight, inside of a store, they are treacherous,” he said. “They made a mistake. They did the dumbest thing they could ever do in life. And I hope God will make them pay for it all.”
