As previously reported, on March 31, 2019, Hussle was shot multiple times in the parking lot of his store, Marathon Clothing, in South Los Angeles at about 3:25 p.m. Hussle was hit five times in the torso and once in the head. Nipsey was said to have been at the store, without his bodyguard, meeting one of his friends that had just been released from jail providing him with clothes.

In the days leading up to his death, Hussle had reached out to officials from the LAPD about having a meeting with him and Roc Nation about what they could do to help prevent gang violence in South Los Angeles. The meeting had been scheduled to take place on Monday April 1, 2019, but was rescheduled due to Hussle’s untimely death Sunday the day before. According to Los Angeles Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff, the meeting will still take place at a yet to be announced date.
