Coroner publishes autopsy results of rapper Nipsey Hussle

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – (AP) – According to investigators, rapper Nipsey Hussle died from gunshot wounds to his head and torso. The Los Angeles County coroner published the results after completing an autopsy on Monday on Hussle, whose real name is Ermias Asghedom.

The autopsy ruled that Hussle's death was a homicide.

The 33-year-old man was standing in front of the store opened in the Los Angeles district Sunday afternoon where he grew up when an armed man opened fire, killing him and wounding two others.

Police have not announced any arrests or identified suspects in the case.

Hussle was a beloved figure of both his neighborhood and the hip-hop community, and his death brought mourning and tributes to politicians, musicians, and professional athletes.

Nipsey Hussle is cried for much more than her music.

The rapper was shot dead Sunday in the same neighborhood of Los Angeles where he grew up. Californian Senator Kamala Harris and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti are among those who pay tribute to his efforts to improve the impoverished Crenshaw community.

Hussle opened a store called Marathon Clothing which, he hoped, could be a seed of development. He stood near the company when he was killed. The police did not identify a reason or suspect.

On Monday, hundreds of people gathered in front of the store to pay their respect. A memorial of candles, flowers and paintings took shape, and some of Hussle's songs were heard through loudspeakers.

The 33-year-old built his reputation on mixtapes before a major breakthrough.
