Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson, a friend of Hussle, was the main push that led to the Los Angeles City Council to vote unanimously to rename the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue “Nipsey Hussle Square.”

“His work and impact will never be forgotten, and I am grateful to do a small part to ensure the marathon continues,” Harris-Dawson announced in a heartfelt statement.

That intersection is home to Hussle’s clothing store, and will forever be the place that Nipsey stood strong until he was shot down on the afternoon of March 31. According to recent reports, Eric R. Holder Jr., who has been charged with killing Hussle, has pleaded not guilty.
