LAPD Chief of Police Michel Moore revealed that Hussle's death was part of the growing wave of violence in South LA:

"Tonight's homicide in South LA represents the latest loss in a troubling surge in violence. Since last Sunday 26 victims have been shot & 10 homicides—that's 36 families left picking up the pieces. We will work aggressively with our community to quell this senseless loss of life."
