The killer was said to have fired at the rapper several times using a handgun and officers found the him with multiple wounds.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Deputy Guillermina Saldana said: "It appears to detectives that the victim was the intended target of the suspect and that this was not a random shooting."
A woman who identified herself as his girlfriend, Jessica Jefferson, told a local TV station that the rapper left behind three children.
She told CBS2: "For them to be that bold, to run into a McDonald's in daylight, in front of people, kids you know, and take some kind of vengeance toward somebody, it's inhumane.
"He's a good rapper, and he has so many followers and people who stand behind him. He really is a good, solid person."
Big Paybacc was connected to former G-Unit artist Spider Loc. The victim was identified officially as 38-year-old Habeeb Ameer Zekajj, the rapper's real name.
