It is unclear if that upcoming meeting was a motive for the murder.

Hussle was incredibly invested in the community, helping to develop Destination Crenshaw.
It was described by NBC as "an open-air museum devoted to honoring African-American artistic achievement." He also helped create Vector 90, "a co-working space in South Central Los Angeles, where young people can take classes in science, technology and mathematics."
