LA Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted, “Our hearts are with the loved ones of Nipsey Hussle and everyone touched by this awful tragedy.”
He continued, “L.A. is hurt deeply each time a young life is lost to senseless gun violence. My Crisis Response Team is assisting the families coping with shock and grief.”
Nipsey, 33, is survived by his daughter Emani from a previous relationship and son Kross, whom he shared with his longtime girlfriend Lauren London. Lauren, 34, has yet to speak out on social media about her family’s loss.
