According to the Los Angeles Sentinel, the Los Angeles City Council has introduced a motion to rename the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard as Ermias ‘Nipsey Hussle’ Asghedom Square, according to Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson, a friend of Hussle’s.
The rapper, entrepreneur and champion for the South LA historic Destination Crenshaw project was recently murdered at his flagship Marathon Store located adjacent to the intersection.
Harris-Dawson says in a statement,
“Nipsey’s genuine nature allowed him to be a light to everyone he interacted with from family, friends, fans, and his larger community. As a father, brother, and son, Nipsey was a rock helping to build an empire that will continue through generations.
“Nipsey will always be remembered for delivering a pure, authentic Los Angeles sound, his numerous philanthropic efforts, his innovative, community-focused business mindset, and his humble heart.”
