Nipsey Hussle’s Vigil Disrupted By Gunshots Leading To Stampede
Nipsey Hussle’s Vigil Turned Violent
Thousands of people have visited the rapper’s Marathon store—the site of his murder—to pay their respects since Hussle’s passing. Everyone has kept the peace and respected one another as they lit candles, left letters and cards, and listened to motivational speeches by community members.

However, this evening a disruption occurred and reports from local Los Angeles stations state that there are people are injured at the scene.
NBC 4 News reports that the Los Angeles Fire Department told them they responded to the scene after they received reports of shots fired about an hour ago. Police convened as well and could be seen making their way through the crowd, but according to their official Twitter account, reports of gunfire are inaccurate.
