LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Slain hip-hop artist Nipsey Hussle has been memorialized in three murals around Los Angeles, including a mural that already includes Lakers star LeBron James and West Coast rap legends Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube.
The mural with James, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube is located at 2491 W. Washington Blvd.
One of the other murals is located at Violet and Mateo streets in downtown LA.
