One of the victims shot in the Nipsey Hussle murder has been arrested … for associating with Nipsey – TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Kerry Lathan, a 56-year-old man who was shot in the back outside Nipsey’s Marathon Clothing store, was taken to the hospital, a week ago Sunday, treated and released.
Five days after the shooting, Lathan, who is out on parole after serving 20 years for murder, was arrested at his halfway house for associating with a known gang member – namely, Nipsey.
One of the standard conditions of parole is not associating with known gang members, and police claim Nipsey was a member of the Rollin 60’s Crips.
Lathan is now in Men’s Central Jail in downtown L.A. where he waits as authorities try to revoke his parole. Lathan is in a wheelchair – the result of the shooting – unable to walk.
It’s ironic … as Nipsey was being celebrated for his contributions to L.A., authorities were arresting one of the victims of the shooting for being around him. And there’s this … Lathan had just gotten out of prison, and Nipsey went to Marathon to give the ex-con some clothes so he could look fresh when he reunited with friends and family.
You lock up a newly released parolee/victim for being around an iconic slain man, who everybody already knew was a Crip, that y’all praised for his philanthropy, efforts of improving his community, widely promoting positivity and entrepreneurialism, and seeking to end gang violence in conjunction with y’all? Son what?!
That janky ass parole shit will forever be annoying. You can literally be minding your damn business, unaware of some shit that’s about to pop off in a split second. But because you were spotted, regardless if you had anything to do with it, your ass is going back into the system. Anything to quickly toss a Black man back into prison and continue the cycle of broken Black families.
