Ex-NBA hooper Stephen Jackson is speaking out in the aftermath of Philly rap star PnB Rock‘s murder in South Los Angeles … saying he “checks in” whenever traveling to another city or state.
By checking in, Stak means if you’re visiting a city that you’re not from or familiar with, it’s best to call someone who is and make sure you’re good while there, alert you to any possible danger … and it’s a sign of respect.
“I check in everywhere I go,” Jackson said in a social media post on Wednesday.
“Everywhere I go I call somebody from the place I’m going that I know and check in. I wanna come home to my family and I love my life. I’m checking in with my people out of respect.”
Stak’s message comes on the heels of PnB Rock’s murder, whom many believe was the target of a robbery while eating at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles with his girlfriend, in an area of L.A. that’s seen an increase in robberies.

Jackson hopes PnB Rock’s tragic murder serves as a cautionary tale for people visiting unfamiliar places.
“It’s nothing wrong with showing respect when you in somebody’s city or state,” Jackson said.
“I always check in ’cause I know real ones everywhere. I care about my life and I’m coming home to my kids and my family. Bet that.”
Former NBA player Marquis Daniels agreed with Stak — saying in the comments, “When you outta town you gotta play by the rules or at least know what’s going on.”
LAPD tells us they’re working non-stop to find the killer … and are monitoring pawn shops in case the suspect tries to sell PnB Rock’s jewelry.
