For a moment I thought you meant the comedian I grew up listening to and seeing on Hollywood Squares.
Still, that’s a shame and I offer my condolences to his friends, family and his fans.

Didn’t know of the guy until today, but I am still deeply saddened by it.
From the support I’ve seen from my friends and from what I read about him, he seemed like a wholesome person who did a lot for his community. Truly tragic and a horrible way to go.

I just looked him up and read he got shot and thought how horrible can a person be to shoot someone; and then I read on and he was in a gang…
/sigh
This is why you don’t join gangs, you end up getting either shot or stabbed to death. Also police says it appears to be gang-related.

In his past, sure. But from 5 minutes of reading about him I learned that he left the gang life and opened a science community center in 2010 in LA devoted to STEM fields and tried to give his 2 children a good life.
He was killed in his own clothing store.

It’s crazy that he was killed at his own store…
Maybe it’s a bit ignorant of me to say this but I had honestly never even heard of the guy until today, but I read up on him after I seen an article talking about that he had been shot and killed and Kevin Hart put a post out on Facebook talking about him and how much he looked up to him and what not.
I looked him up and it seems like he was a really good guy who gave a lot back to the community that he came from. It’s a shame things like this happen to people who don’t deserve it.
R.I.P

his past caught up to him someone doesn’t get to claim rollin 60’s crip and throw up a set like that without having some serious dirt in their past so a “really good guy” he definitely was not regardless of how much he tried to make amends for that dirt

All it takes is a day in the bad crowd to put a target on your back the rest of your life.
Feel bad for the guy, past caught up with him despite his efforts to be better.
A play on the name of somebody with actual talent (Nipsey Russle, for you millennials.)

It’s so sad to see celebrities die so young, especially when they have such a promising career ahead of them. I always think of Aaliyah and Christina Grimmie who we’re both 22 years old with so much going for them. It’s truly tragic to die in such a way also. May he R.I.P.

I was listening to the news this morning and heard he admitted he was part of a gang. It also mentioned he was a very generous and giving person. He liked to share his good fortune.
I’m wondering if those ties to gang life came back to bite him in the end.
