BREAKING: Suspect in killing of rapper Nipsey Hussle has been arrested and is in police custody, LAPD says.
Rapper Nipsey Hussle speaks to kids after the opening of a basketball court, Oct. 22, 2018 in Los Angeles. Hussle partnered with Puma to refurbish the elementary school basketball court in south Los Angeles near where Nipsey grew up.
The rapper was scheduled to meet with LAPD Commissioner Steve Soboroff and Chief Moore to "talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids." "Our goal is to work with the department to help improve communication, relationships and work towards changing the culture and dialogue between LAPD and the the inner city. We want to hear about your new programs and your goals for the department, as well as how we can help stop gang violence and help you help kids," Hussle wrote in the email, according to Soboroff.
While the shooting is apparently not directly linked to gang violence, it came during a surge in gang shootings in the south Los Angeles area. In the past week there have been 11 homicides in the area and 26 other shootings, most of them stemming from gang violence, Moore said.
