LOS ANGELES — Nipsey Hussle thought Marathon Clothing could be a seed to revive the impoverished Los Angeles community where he grew up. But as Hussle stood in that same plaza Sunday afternoon, he was shot and killed by an unknown assailant. A memorial of candles, flowers and paintings of Hussle took shape in front of the store and in the parking lot. “I grew up in gang culture,” Hussle told the Los Angeles Times in 2018. ——Associated Press writers Mesfin Fekadu in New York and Beth Harris and Amanda Lee Myers in Los Angeles contributed to this report.
