R.I.P. Nipsey Hussle

Born Airmiess Joseph Asghedom, the South Central native was murdered in front of his Hyde Park clothing store, the Marathon, by an unknown gunman. Hussle suffered six gunshot wounds, including a shot to the head; two of the recording artist’s associates also sustained gunshot wounds. The Los Angeles native was rushed by paramedics to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Nipsey Hussle died in the same parking lot where his music career began. As an aspiring artist, Nipsey would sell his mixtapes to the public. He eventually earned enough money to rent one of the shopping center’s storefronts and, earlier this year, became the owner of the entire shopping center.
