Eritrean rapper Sador “Sandman Negus” Fasehaye was killed in an alley on the 4300 block of South Crenshaw Boulevard on Thursday evening. Fasahaye, grew up in South Los Angeles but was born in Bulgaria from Eritrean parents and spent some time in the Sudan before moving to the U.S. at the age of 7.
Four years ago, he was shot and nearly killed in a gang-related incident that left him in a coma suffering damage to his colon, liver, lungs, diaphragm, shoulders and neck. He was shot through the front windshield of his car and hit nine times. He made an incredible recovery by 2009 and showed no signs of the injuries. He represented Rollin’ 60s Crips, but he devoted most of his time to his music and career.
His last Twitter post was promoting his latest single and video Don’t Blame Me, shot mostly in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Police Department are currently investigating his killing and were on the scene till 10:00 p.m. The killing occurred in the alley just west of Crenshaw Blvd between Homeland Drive and Vernon Avenue.

What is this, like the third 60s killed in the last few months? What’s going on in the Rich Rollin?
60s always gettin’ killed. You didn’t know that?? 60s one of the most hated gangs in LA. At the same time 60s also kill 2-3 times as many. 60s are the true definition of “Crips don’t die they just multiply”. You kill one they recruit two more. Even Monster Kody referenced that in his book.
There is a big chance this is senseless hood politics. The 60s do be over there even though that’s not their hood.
That is damn near View Park where this killing happened, and that is real to see killings this close to home. WTF, what happened?
really really sad news ‘((
the super hero SADOR.
how this happen ?
bout2babloodbath
Sad to hear, but we need to wake up. If you out there bangin’, representin’ and putting your image out there, and u comin up. The streets are gonna hate you. Death will follow Negative actions, no matter what good u attempt. Leave the senseless gangbangin alone. Genocide of our own people.
R.I.P. SANDMAN.
Isn’t that crime location in the back of Uneek Musci???? Why would he be killed at Uneek Music????
$$$this is borderline 60 and 40 hood whoever killed him was from either one of those hoodz
I dont think that is Uneek Music, it is Developing Options, but it is the same person. And I dont think they located there anymore.
R.I .P SANDMAN GOD BLESS U .
the homiez from 60 are knoccin theyy own homiez headz off that got bread on some hatin shit cuz and thats on maommaz………..cracc baby shit cuz
Sandman left all the banging and immature life behind to concentrate on his passion(music career).
sandman you will be missed homie. I still can’t believe it he is gone. Come on people this is 2012, please sharpen your mind before you lose your life or waste your life over stupid thing. Be quick to pick up a book instead of a gun.Be quick to think twice before you squeeze the trigger.
RIP SANDMAN
I was always told that a person who belongs to a gang is a slave .NO MIND OF THEIR OWN…..YOUR TOLD TO SIT,WALK AND RUN , STILL CLAIMING TOBE HARDCORE STREET WARRIORS…..LIARS!…..
not true, he still rep rich rollin. onze down …. alwayz down. c.i.p.
All he wanted was to rap, he never diss any gangs or anyone on his music. He was focus on introducing people to more broader thinking letting you know whats going on 1000s miles away in eritrea, but yet people want to stop him from doing good or exposing the truth. its these american terrorist they need to be talking about terrorizing inoocent black lifes since day one.
very sad news, indeed anytime a black man especially one form Africa is Killed he is immediately associated with gangs etc… inorder to diminish the victim and the violent nature of the racist nation we live in. The the powers to be don’t want to take any responsibility for the rotten system they have created. And the gullible will end up balming the victim as usual. RIP Sandman, your sacrifice will never be in vain.
@YONATHAN he was in a gang called 60sRoll and he said it on his own music so may be you should watch his videos first before talking.
you dumbass he was a known 60 (sissy) nap regardless if he was from africa or not, and all you niggas talkin all this positive shit ya’ll don’t know the dirt this nigga did while breathin, maybe it was an “eye 4 an eye” gang bang bitch
Shut ur simple minded punk ass up
His 60s identity was a part of what he represented, he said “Rich Rollin in his raps” but that does not mean he was involved in crime or even gang bangin’. You can be a member that is not involved in criminal activity.
His songs were violent…will do anything I want including taking ur woman because I am strapped….that is really stupid, violent shit…that propably cost his life.
but, isnt that just enough to get you caught up in some chit? wrong place, wrong time..or an old beef perhaps?
Sandman was 26 years.
Why was he killed?
he was in a fight the guy couldnt take a ass whooping so he shot him 4x in the head…..R.I.P My friend
I hope yall six owes avenge yal own even if it is another homie….
the “guy” was from sissies 2 huh?
@63rd & 1oth – thatz fucked up!! I hope that fool catch 4 2his head too. c.i.p. negus!!
That’s the $50 million question. I hope someone is arrested soon, and I hope the person arrested is truly the guilty person. I don’t want the LAPD grabbing any nigga with a beef that they can pin a case on. RIP SANDMAN.
He was a known gang banger, represented it even in his latest song he was promoting. Jus kuz he was in some eyes not banging truth is he was! He chose to live that life & he died in them streets by making that choice. Its messed up but its not like he was an innocent by stander. Jus think how many lives he may have taken, ijs…
Wow! I’d rather be dirt poor and kickin in Sudan…than trying to get minted and shot dead in the LA!
Sad to see a rise in black on black crime, why cant we work together ? Is their not enough room in this world for blacks to live in harmony? R.I.P
He beat up some dude that couldnt take a ass whooping so the guy shot him 4x in the head
can you inform that to police so they will get the right person and lock him
