Nipsey’s Brother & Onlookers Sadly Stunned When This Happened…
The shock when EMS picked Nipsey up off the ground, caused his brother to instantly pray…heavily…
Via LAT: A chilling scream erupted from somewhere in the crowd of those who had gathered to watch. A bullet had pierced the back of Nipsey’s head. For the first time, Samiel saw the gunshot wound on the back of his brother’s head. He started praying.
What happened once Samiel made it to the hospital…
Samiel told the LATimes that he arrived to the hospital shortly after the ambulance had taken his brother there. He soon noticed that the doctor seemed to be avoiding him. Therefore, he wet to speaking with one of the paramedics who was standing next to the ambulance:
“I know who he is,” the man said. “I’m a fan. I respect what he was doing in the community. We tried our hardest,” Samiel recalls him saying.
That was when Samiel knew for certain that Nip’ was gone.
Fast forward to now, and Samiel has one regret:
“If somebody would’ve been there — if I would’ve been there — I would’ve shot back. … I just wish I would’ve been there.”
Why no one else at the store had guns…except the alleged killer…
Nipsey was always trying to help his community, so he intentionally employed ex-felons at his Marathon Clothing Store, since they often had the hardest time finding work and to avoid them ending up right back in the streets:
“Because of that, the man was able to shoot my brother, start running, realize nobody out there had a gun, stop, turn back around, walk up, shoot my brother two more times, start to run, realize nobody had a gun, nobody was responding, ran back up and shot my brother three more times, shoot him in the head and kicked him in the head and then ran off,” Samiel dissected. -LA Times
Nipsey’s brother questions if his murder just a random act of ‘jealously’ or really a ‘hit’…
“It doesn’t make sense that somebody from the area, that just snuck up, and just talked to him and shook his hand minutes before,” Samiel said. “It’s mind-boggling.”
Samiel, who was also Nipsey’s business partner, now feels that he ‘doesn’t know who to trust.’ Nonetheless, he’s determined to keep Nipsey’s legacy going strong. Samiel told the LA Times that his brother “made something work in an area that was run-down, that people were scared to come to, and he turned it into a landmark. … All races. Different states. Many countries. They all come to Crenshaw and Slauson. He was truly the people’s champ.”
Long live Nipsey Hussle.
