Hussle, born Ermias Davidson Asghedom, was shot several times outside of Marathon Clothing, a store he owned in Hyde Park, and was pronounced dead not long afterward. Two other people were injured in the shooting.
Hussle's debut studio album, "Victory Lap," was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
As news of Sunday's incident surfaced and spread, a number of players, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry, turned to social media to express their condolences.
