Nipsey Hussle Shot In Front Of His Clothing Store

Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, NBC News confirmed.

Multiple sources told the publication that Nipsey was shot in front of his clothing shop, The Marathon Store, in the Hyde Park area of LA.

Two others were also injured during the incident and according to TMZ’s law enforcement sources, one person died in the hospital–which was later confirmed to be Nipsey. Eyewitnesses in the area say that they heard multiple gunshots.

Around an hour before the shooting, Nipsey was eerily tweeting about how having strong enemies is a blessing. He was also seen outside mingling with supporters and even took a picture with one of his young fans.
