Overview
- LAPD says officers responded at 11:11 p.m. to 69th Street and Figueroa, where a 34-year-old man approached a vehicle and was shot, then pronounced dead at the scene.
- Authorities have not released the victim’s name, motive, or any suspect description, and they have not determined whether the shooting was gang-related.
- Multiple outlets and family sources cited by TMZ identify the decedent as Jabari “Baby Uiie” Henley, the son of rap figure Eugene “Big U” Henley.
- Claims that men in Texas Ranger–style hats were stopped as suspects were disputed by police, who said no suspect information had been confirmed.
- The killing comes as Big U faces a federal racketeering case, and an incarcerated associate told TMZ he notified Big U of the death and said they were heartbroken.
