At least 19 people were injured at a memorial for the slain rapper Nipsey Hussle in Los Angeles on Monday night, as a stampede broke out after hundreds of fans stampeded during a vigil in Los Angeles for the Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was killed on Sunday.

The Mourners gathered outside a clothing store, which the 33-year-old rapper owned and was where he was shot and killed.
