One person was killed and multiple more were left injured after a shooting near to a procession in Nipsey Hussle's memory on Thursday. The procession was held directly after a memorial service at LA's Staples Center. Police say there were no injuries on the procession itself, with the CNN reporting that the shooting took place “near the procession route.” Four people were shot, three men and a woman aged between 30-50.
The shooting took place at the intersection of 103 St. and Main St., LAPD Chief of Police Michel Moore stated. A tweet sent from Moore's account declaring that the shooting happened “in the midst of the procession,” was disputed by the LA Times, who reported "no indications that the violence was connected to the memorial."
In the midst of this procession we have a multi-4 Shooting at 103 St and Main St.

We must stop this senseless violence.
