Ermias Asghedom (Nipsey Hussle)
August 15, 1985 - March 31, 2019

However, in his short life, he not only worked hard to bring relief and joy to the community in which he was raised, he crossed color, race and class lines in a desperate attempt to make the world a better place for Black people. And specifically his Los Angeles Crenshaw community.
How did that community repay him? He was gunned down in cold blood in front of the store which he opened in that same community.
His shocking death has an eerily similar resemblance to the death of Tupac.
I don't buy into the conspiracy theories. I do not believe he was killed because his work on the documentary about Dr. Sebi. I believe he was murdered by the very people he loved. And almost certainly by someone he knew.
Because of his Eritrean American background he knew what it meant to be proud of who you are and proud of your heritage. He had been to Africa multiple times.
I can only imagine the pain and suffering his parents, siblings, Lauren London and his beautiful daughter and son are feeling at this moment.
We are blessed that he left in this world, his artistic and intellectual mark which will live on forever.
