Rapper and entrepreneur Nipsey Hussle, 33, was shot and killed on March 31 in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles.  Hussle leaves a big legacy in his community.  He contributed to schools and community organizations, started local businesses, and gave people a lot of hope — in an area of the city where there isn't always a lot of investment.
