Rapper Nipsey Hussle has died.
The artist was shot multiple times outside his store, Marathon Clothing Company, in the Hyde Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles. He was 33.
Hussle was one of three men who were shot in the attack. They were all taken to a local hospital following the shooting, where Hussle later died of his injuries, according to multiple reports.
Authorities told ET that the other men are in stable condition.
The suspect responsible fled in a vehicle, and the scene is currently being processed and the attack is being investigated as a homicide.
The rapper notably tweeted shortly before reports of his shooting began to surface, “Having strong enemies is a blessing.”
Hussle — who was born in raised in the Crenshaw neighbourhood of L.A., not far from where he was gunned down — worked as a local community organizer and was involved in the ongoing Destination Crenshaw arts project.
Hussle had two children, including a daughter, Emani, and a 2-year-old son he and girlfriend Lauren London welcomed in August 2016.
Fellow artists who were friends with the rapper turned to Twitter to express their condolences, including Diddy, who shared a video of himself and Hussle working in the studio together.
