One person was killed and three were injured during Nipsey Hussle's funeral yesterday.
Thousands of mourners lined the streets as the singer's hearse made its way through Los Angeles. However, it quickly descended into chaos when a vehicle drove past and shot four people.
Officers confirmed three men and a woman, aged between 30 and 50, were hit by bullets fired form the grey vehicle, which is now being hunted down by authorities.

"It is so painful to know that we don't have enough people taking a position that says, 'listen, we must have stronger gun laws'.
"It is unacceptable. It is almost like the world is becoming blind."
