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.

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

I heard a lot about this murder but I never heard Nipsey’s name with this, so stop coming on here trying to create drama Mr. John Daniels.

why would he do that
rumor being that Nippsey Hustle behind the Sandman murder..Bitch ass sissy niggas..Yall killng your own..gangbanging aint shit..seddy
u think its true ?
WTF ……Nipsey Husstle is from Eritrea. The same east Africa place as Sandman. Now that is very hard to believe because Eritrea’s don’t kill each other.
That’s really against the code. Ya”ll will have to prove that shit to me. Nipsey???? No way!!! They were brothers!!!
yall got to prove it though, they werent brothers just because they are eritreans…nipsey didnt not attend his funeral or give him a shoutout !!!

Funny cuz half you niggas dont know what ur talking about..
I asked him why he was involved in this “game” in that his background and roots are so far away from that of these street gangs in the US. Sure he grew up here but his history is different. Did he have a choice or not? Especially after he first got shot I was hoping he would move away from this whole garbage. It is bad enough so many blacks are caught up. It seems he chose to stay around it. Oh well. We all got to go someday. Hope it was worth it. Rest in peace Sador.
What a crime. Who paints the image of black men as being “cool” with guns in the first place and why the hell do thinking people subscribe to such bull? There is no reason on earth for carrying and shooting people other than to fulfill the destiny put in motion for you by whites who create and promote the images that lead to black men and hispanic men destroying themselves, leaving more on the table for you know who.
