In an emotional interview with reporter, Angel Jennings for the LA Times, Nipsey’s brother, Samiel Asghedom, gave heart-wrenching details of the last minutes of Nipsey’s life.

He arrived minutes after the shooting and talked to his brother, “Nip'”…
Samiel was by their grandmother’s house when someone frantically called to tell him Nipsey had just been shot. After racing to the scene and running red lights, Samiel made it to his brother’s Marathon Clothing store minutes after the shooting and moments before the paramedics arrived. According to the report, ‘blood stained the front of his brother’s shirt and a hole marked where a bullet entered his leg.’

Nipsey’s brother tried to save his life…
Nipsey was still breathing hard and ‘loudly’ through his nose, so Samiel had a 911 operator walk him through the steps to keep Nipsey breathing until the paramedics arrived. As the crowd respectfully watched in silence and shock, Samiel counted as he delivered hard, sharp pumps to the center of Nipsey’s chest:

Via LATimes: When the 911 operator reached 20, the wail of an ambulance’s siren filled the air around the strip mall… Paramedics inserted a tube down Nipsey’s throat, stuck an IV in his arm and then lifted him off the pavement onto a waiting stretcher.

The shock when EMS picked Nipsey up off the ground, caused his brother to instantly pray…heavily…

Via LAT: A chilling scream erupted from somewhere in the crowd of those who had gathered to watch. A bullet had pierced the back of Nipsey’s head. For the first time, Samiel saw the gunshot wound on the back of his brother’s head. He started praying.

Samiel arrived to the hospital shortly after the ambulance had taken his brother there, and sadly, he learned the ultimate fate of his baby bro.’

Nipsey’s funeral wil be held at the Staples Center on Thursday, April 11, 2019. Our continued condolences to Nipsey’s family and loved ones. Nipsey Hussle, rest in power, King.
