At a news conference on Tuesday, LAPD chief Michel Moore said that police “believe this to be a dispute between Mr. Hussle and Mr. Holder” and that “we believe they were known to each other.”According to Moore, before the shooting Holder had allegedly approached Hussle and “engaged in conversation,” before leaving and returning with a handgun. He fired and struck Hussle, along with two other men.
But after 8 p.m., the crowd suddenly began running, with some yelling that shots had been fired. A musician at the vigil later told the Times that a fight had broken out and the mourners likely mistook the sound of bottles and candles shattering for gunshots.A HUGE stampede of people rushed out of the @NipseyHussle memorial area.

Informally initial report by LA Fire identifying 12 treated at scene, one transported. No clear nature of that injury. Many treated on scene for sprained ankles. Hussle and one of the men were taken to a hospital, where the musician was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m., according to a statement posted Monday afternoon by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. The coroner determined Hussle died of gunshot wounds to the head and torso, and certified his death as a homicide.
Before his death, Hussle was actively involved in several community projects, which included rebuilding an elementary school’s basketball court and furthering science, technology, engineering and math education. Last year, he opened a co-working space and STEM center called Vector90 in South Central Los Angeles. Hussle also took part in an arts project intended to celebrate the city’s black culture.
