On March 31st, 2019, the rapper, whose real name was Airmiess Asghedom, was shot multiple times in this parking lot in Dorset Village.
At the time of the shooting, the strip mall was home to Hussle's clothing store, Marathon Clothing.

Hussle was hit ten times. He received gunshot wounds to his back, abdomen, and chest. Two of the other men were also injured in the attack.

The shooting
At around 3.20 p.m., Nipsey Hussle was standing outside of the Marathon Clothing store on West Slauson Avenue with three other men.
As the group was talking, Holder casually walked up along the sidewalk beside the shopping mall and opened fire with two handguns.
The CCTV footage shows that Holder didn't just fire off a few shots and run away. Instead, he launched a sustained attack on his target that lasted for nearly 30 seconds.
After making sure that the rapper was critically injured and unlikely to survive, he ran back in the direction that he originally came from. He then jumped into a waiting vehicle and fled the scene.
Street View
This is a Google Street View image of the shopping mall parking lot. It was taken in January 2019, roughly three months before the rapper was shot dead.
The yellow line shows the direction that Holder came from.
On the left, you can see an alley that connects the parking lot with West 58th Place on the southern side of the mall. The LAPD said that Holder ran down this alley and jumped into the passenger side of a Chevrolet Cruze.
The authorities believe that the woman behind the wheel of the car was completely unaware that a murder was going to take place.
Nipsey Hussle's store is closed
On May 6th, 2019, Hussle's longtime girlfriend Lauren London announced that Marathon Clothing would remain closed for the foreseeable future.
Judging by recent Google Street View images, the mall is now boarded up, and the parking lot has been surrounded by a fence.
Eric Holder
On May 9th, 2019, 29-year-old Eric Holder was charged with the murder of Nipsey Hussle.
A witness said that the shooting took place exactly six minutes after Hussle implied that Holder had snitched on a local street gang called the Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips.
The authorities believe that he was so enraged by Hussle's implication that he returned to the lot with two handguns and immediately opened fire.
On July 6th, 2022, Holder was found guilty of first-degree murder. The following year, he was sentenced to 60 years in prison.
