Grammy-nominated rapper shot dead
Print Edition
Rapper Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot outside the clothing store he founded to help rebuild his troubled South Los Angeles neighborhood, police said, cutting short a career that earned him a Grammy nomination this year for his major-label debut. He was 33.
Police said Hussle was one of three men shot on Sunday outside Marathon Clothing. The other two were in stable condition. A large crowd gathered outside the store as night fell.
Detectives were canvassing the area for witnesses and looking to see if any surveillance video captured the shooting.
Mayor Eric Garcetti was among the many people expressing condolences.
鈥淥ur hearts are with the loved ones of Nipsey Hussle and everyone touched by this awful tragedy. LA is hurt deeply each time a young life is lost to senseless gun violence,鈥 Garcetti tweeted. 鈥淢y Crisis Response Team is assisting the families coping with shock and grief.鈥
Hussle, who had two children and was engaged to actress Lauren London, was an Eritrean-American whose real name was Ermias Asghedom.
鈥淭his doesn鈥檛 make any sense! My spirit is shaken by this!,鈥 Rihanna wrote while posting photos of Hussle with his daughter and another with his fiancee.
Hussle was born on August 15, 1985, in the same Crenshaw neighborhood where he died, and where he had been working to provide youths with alternatives to the hustling he did when he was younger.
