Nipsey’s brother tried to save his life…
When Samiel arrived, Nipsey was still breathing hard and ‘loudly’ through his nose. “There’s no reason for him to still be breathing,” is what Samiel says he initially thought, because of how severe Nip’s gun wounds were. But Samiel was grateful that Nip’ was still alive, so he had a 911 operator walk him through the steps to keep Nipsey breathing until the paramedics arrived. As the crowd respectfully watched in silence and shock, Samiel did what he was told and delivered hard, sharp pumps to the center of Nipsey’s chest:
Via LATimes: When the 911 operator reached 20, the wail of an ambulance’s siren filled the air around the strip mall… Paramedics inserted a tube down Nipsey’s throat, stuck an IV in his arm and then lifted him off the pavement onto a waiting stretcher.
