City closing Nipsey Hussle Alley

Joy Benedict reports from South LA on city council's vote Friday to close the popular alley near the site of late rapper Nipsey Hussle's murder due continuous crime in the area.

[@scandinavianflickgd7331]

Its a shame that people would be so disrespectful to someone who wanted better for their neighborhood.

[@jusforyoutoob]

People around that area (mostly rivals) take pride in not giving a f*ck it’s crazy

[@inthendwealldie]

Nipsey has a lot of haters. People like Wack, enemy hoods, esp the ppl out of state that never heard of Nip lol... I mean it's LA, u even see people every once in a while, kick over mural candles and all sorts of things
