Grammy-nominated 33-year-old was shot three times in the head and chest by a gunman who delivered a final kick to the lifeless rapper before fleeing to a waiting car driven by a female accomplice.

Nipsey was a well-loved figure in the community and his philanthropy and advocacy won praise from fellow entertainers and public officials.

Community leader Big U told TMZ that in the wake of his death, various gang leaders began contacting him and others with the idea of a ceasefire and rally to pay tribute.

The ceasefire was the first since 1992, when the gangs called a truce during riots that ensued when police officers were acquitted of beating black driver Rodney King.

The peace march was set in motion on Thursday evening when gang leaders from Watts, Compton, and Inglewood all met up to discuss a cease-fire.

It took place the next day and started in a grocery store in the Crenshaw neighborhood and moved towards The Marathon, where a makeshift memorial has sprung up.

Big U told TMZ: “We’re having a gang truce and a gang rally so all the different gangs from LA can get together and celebrate the life and the gift of Nipsey.

GANG TRUCE

“It’s in honour of Nipsey. There’s a lot of people who said they wanted to get together and come to a vigil and pay respect because Nipsey was the first real LA artist that was from LA.”

He said Nipsey had “no conflict with anybody” and as well as the Bloods and the Crips, Hispanic gangs also made contact with him to make the march happen.
