The 33-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper (real name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom) died Sunday around 4 p.m. after he was gunned down in front of his Marathon Clothing store, according to police and the coroner’s office. Two others were injured in the shooting. The L.A. County coroner on Monday (April 1) determined that gunshot wounds of the head and torso were the cause of death.
Hussle was more than just an artist. He was also a community activist who was scheduled to meet with representatives of the LAPD the day after the shooting to talk strategies to help reduce gang violence.
LAPD Chief Michel Moore will hold a news conference Tuesday morning to share updates on the case.
