Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle shot and killed at 33
LOS ANGELES — Rapper Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot outside the clothing store he founded to help rebuild his troubled South Los Angeles neighbourhood, 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 Sunday outside Marathon Clothing, his store in South Los Angeles; 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, police Lt. Chris Ramirez said. Investigators had not yet determined a motive or identified any suspects, Ramirez said.
Mayor Eric Garcetti was among the many people expressing condolences.
