Rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed on Sunday outside his South LA clothing store called The Marathon. The suspect is a 29-year-old man named Eric Holder. On Monday, several people were injured when things got heated at a memorial for Hussle. The rapper had invested in the neighborhood he came from, and he spoke out against gun violence, even though he was a former gang member. His death has shaken the city.
