Son of LA Crips leader and music executive Eugene ‘Big U’ Henley shot dead on Halloween

The son of longtime LA Crips leader and music mogul lauded as the “godfather” of rap was gunned down outside a smoke shop Friday night.

Jabari “Baby Uiie” Henley, whose father Eugene Henley Jr. is the former head of the Rollin’ 60’s Neighborhood Crips, was on the corner of 69th Street and Figueroa Street in South Los Angeles around 11 p.m. when a gunman opened fire, according to TMZ.

Henley, 34, walked up to a car on the street when the suspect or suspects shot him, the Los Angeles Police Department told TMZ and KTLA.

The unidentified suspect fled the area and remains at large on Sunday.

First responders attempted life-saving measures, but Henley was pronounced dead at the scene and a tarp was placed over his body, according to video obtained by TMZ.

Henley is also the older brother of Los Angeles Charger inside linebacker Daiyan Henley.

In March, the eldest Henley turned himself over to federal agents in March for allegedly running a “Mafia-like” criminal enterprise involving murder, human trafficking, robbery and extortion on the streets of Los Angeles.

Henley Jr. — known as “Big U” in the music industry – was among 18 alleged members of the Rollin 60s street gang charged in the sprawling March 19 federal racketeering complaint brought by the US Attorney’s Office.

I’m so behind in my knowledge of rap history, I never knew, or heard of this guy!
Wonder if there’s a college course, where I could brush up?

Yes LA has over 60 gangs the Crips and the Bloods are at the top.

Mexican gangs are working their way to that spot.
