Seven years ago this month, the South Central LA rapper and philanthropist Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed at age 33 outside Marathon Clothing, the store he opened in Hyde Park. After his death, fans quickly started a petition to rename the nearby intersection of Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard of to Nipsey Hussle Square. On the day of Nipsey’s funeral, city council said they’d be going forward with the decision. That finally came to fruition on Saturday.
