UPDATE:

TMZ sources are clear ... this appears to be gang-related to the law enforcement officers that are working the case. 

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ  ... the suspect cops are looking for is a black male in his 20s. TMZ were told he approached Nipsey and co. by foot Sunday afternoon and fired multiple shots ... only to depart right after in what we're told appeared to be a nearby waiting vehicle with a separate driver, who our sources say was female. 

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Nipsey Hussle has died. He was 33 years old. 

Law enforcement have told TMZ that 3 people were shot at Nipsey's store, and one of those people just died at the hospital. It's unclear if that person is Nipsey. TMZ have been told that one man fled in a vehicle after the shooting.

TMZ reports Nipsey Hussle was shot outside of his Marathon store in Los Angeles.

Multiple sources have told TMZ the rapper was gunned down Sunday in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, south of the Crenshaw area. We're told he was at his clothing store called the Marathon Clothing Company. He opened the place back in 2017.

His condition is unknown at this point. Eyewitnesses in the area say they heard multiple shots fired.

Even crazier ... Nipsey appears to have tweeted right before the shooting, and alluded to "enemies." He wrote, "Having strong enemies is a blessing."
