In the days after rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed, members of rival gangs across Los Angeles came together to mourn his death.

In the months since, that mourning has turned into action as gang leaders attempt to broker peace within their warring factions. Now that some have reached a tentative cease-fire, the question now is: Will it last?
