Two other men were in serious condition, and a suspect remained at large. No further information was immediately available about the shooting at Marathon Clothing on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles. But just a couple of hours before the shooting, Hussle, 33, whose real name was Ermias Ashgedom, had tweeted, "Having strong enemies is a blessing."
A large crowd of people, many of them crying, gathered at the intersection as police and media helicopters whirred overhead. One of them was Matthew Talley of Denver, the engineer and director known as Megatron. "It ain't just Los Angeles. He was an inspiration that was bigger than Los Angeles," Talley said. "You see all these people out here? ... "He was really cool," Talley said. "He was a dope individual every time I met him."

You’d think the Messiah had been murdered by the way the Memphis TV stations are reporting this.
Nipsey Hussel dead! This must be “The Day The Music Died”!(/S)
Great twist on his name though. I’ve got to give him that!
“Most popular know”
Translation please?
His parents came from Eritrea, which has been in a war with Ethiopia most of my life. (We have Eritreans in my church.) His first name, Ermias,” is “Jeremiah.”
He served as a medic in the United States Army during World War II, enlisting as a private on June 27, 1941, and returning from Europe in 1945 as a second lieutenant.
I didn’t know that.
According to site songkick he is “no longer touring”.
Had song “Bullets don’t have no names”.Another was F-— Donald Trump.
Loved him as the Tin Man in “The Wiz.” It’s the black version of the Wizard of Oz.
