Officers said they discovered Rivera “slumped in the front seat of a vehicle” parked at an apartment complex with “multiple gunshot wounds” at about 4:10 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“It appears to have been a walk-up shooting, and he appears to have been targeted,” Lt. Ti Goetz stated, according to Daily Breeze.

According to Hip-Hop Lately, the shooting happened on IG Live with a friend. A graphic video, which appears to show the shooting, is circulating on social media.

Hip-Hop Lately said there are rumors that the shooting may have stemmed from disrespect shown to a Nipsey Hussle mural.

The investigators urged anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
