    The late rapper Nipsey Hussle’s birthday is quickly approaching on August 15, and Los Angeles police officers are preparing for a huge turnout at his clothing store.

    Hussle would have been 34-years-old, however, he was shot and killed outside of his store, Marathon Clothing, back in March of this year.

    He was a beloved member of the community, and was known for his philanthropy and attempts at ending gang violence. As a result, law enforcement said they expect a heavy presence at the Marathon Clothing store in Hussle’s honor. His memorial and funeral services were also attended by thousands back in April. Police said they don’t anticipate violence, however they will be ready in case things get out of control, according to TMZ.

    LAPD will reportedly have more than 100 officers in the area, however many will be in plain clothes so that they do not come off as threatening.

    Nipsey and his business partners were being investigated at the time of his death for alleged gang activity around his clothing store. All the while, police were praising him for his activism in the community and his fight towards ending gang violence. However, police said they were not specifically targeting Hussle, but just looking to solve the gang problem in the area surrounding The Marathon store.
