In an upcoming documentary, gang members reveal they believe slain rapper Nipsey Hussle was murdered and should have known he wasnt untouchable.

Last March, Hussle born Ermais Asghedom died after being shot outside of his Los Angeles clothing store. Eric Holder was arrested for the slaying and indicted on one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon by a grand jury.

He has also since been indicted on two additional counts of assault with a firearm and is set to go on trial next month.

In a new BBC Three documentary, The Mysterious Murder Of Nipsey Hussle, filmmaker Ben Zand attempts to uncover the truth about his murder, through a series of interviews with everyone from LAPD officers to former gang members.

Nipsey was stupid, he was stupid, said Eight-Tray gang member Sedrick, who also runs a book and herbs shop, said. He didnt have, his gang didnt protect him and they wasnt going to protect him when he got that money.

He goes on to opine that Hussle should have never been outside his store without protection on the day of the shooting. Sedrick noted that the entrepreneurs fame and wealth made him an obvious target.

Its too risky, theres too many dudes that arent gonna like you Nipsey for one, he should have never been at that store without security. He thought he was untouchable.

The film also reveals that pre-trial hearing transcripts include allegations that right before Hussle was shot, he accused his suspected killer Eric Holder of being a snitch and working with the police. In fact, the word snitch which is considered a serious verbal slight in gang culture is mentioned 24 times.

When asked if calling someone a snitch is really serious enough to warrant being shot, Sedrick confirmed, Thats the worst thing you can say, adding, You gotta go kill that n***** man, Ill call you if you call me a snitch and I aint a snitch.

Its the equivalent of being called a child molester, thats the level thats on, his fellow gang member chimed in.
