A memorial created to honor the life and legacy of slain rapper and community activist Nipsey Hussle turned violent Monday night.
Hundreds of fans gathered outside the Grammy-nominated rapper’s South Los Angeles apparel store, The Marathon Clothing, a day after Hussle was gunned down in the same location. But as night fell, violence broke out and people were trampled as they fled.
One person was stabbed and another six people sustained injuries from unknown causes, Los Angeles Police Department public information officer Tony Im told USA TODAY. The number of injured may rise as reports come in, he added.
A USA TODAY reporter witnessed one male stabbing victim lying on the ground, along with a woman who appeared to have been stabbed.
First responders transported 19 injured people with at least two critically injured, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Margaret Stewart told USA TODAY. At least one injury was caused by a car hitting a pedestrian.
