Source: MARK RALSTON / Getty Los Angeles police informed the Los Angeles Times on Monday that they were making progress in the search for the gunman who shot and killed  Nipsey Hussle  on Sunday afternoon. The  Victory Lap rapper was gunned down in front of a shopping mall that he owned and prominently featured his  The Marathon clothing store. Law enforcement sources told the Times they believed the killer was someone that Hussle knew. Detectives also believe that although the gunman has gang ties, his motives were more likely personal in nature rather than a gang feud. The coroner officer’s said Monday that the 33-year-old succumbed to a gunshot wounds to the head and torso. He was shot six times in total, five bullets hitting him in his chest. The individual who shot Hussle did so at close range before leaving in a getaway car.

On Monday, multiple worlds from hip-hop to tech to most, if not all of Los Angeles stopped in paying their respects to the fallen rapper, entrepreneur, father, brother and businessman. “Driving down Slauson four in the morning, I can’t sleep,” The Game posted on Instagram. “S**t crazy, I’m disgusted by this s***.” Tributes were posted by the Los Angeles Metro, various school districts across the country, the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. In Houston, Travis Scott  posted condolences on social media while NBA MVP  James Harden , a close friend of Hussle’s called it, “one of the worst days of my f**king life!” The pair were close as Hussle was on hand in Los Angeles last summer to watch Harden accept his MVP trophy and Harden personally requested nothing but Hussle’s music be played during Rockets pregame warmups.

It’s more torture than to pursue it and not get the results you want.”
