A celebrated rapper and activist, Hussle was gunned down outside his clothing store on Slauson Avenue on March 31. The 33-year-old musician and Grammy-nominated artist was a pillar in his South L.A. neighborhood and praised for helping others in the community.
Hussle’s death came a day before a scheduled meeting with LAPD Chief Michel Moore and Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence.
Hussle had two children: a son with his girlfriend, Lauren London, and a daughter from a previous relationship.
Eric Holder, 29, is accused of shooting Hussle and has been charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. Police allege Holder had gotten into a dispute with Hussle earlier in the day and returned with a gun and started shooting.
