Kerry Lathan, who claims to have been at last month’s shooting scene by chance, was released from a California detention center on Saturday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The former gang member — who was struck by a bullet near his spine on March 31 — was released from prison seven months ago after serving 25 years for a murder charge.
Lathan’s attorney, Lauren Noriega, said the 56-year-old man was just an innocent bystander in the tragic shooting.
“He wasn’t there to propose any business to Nipsey,” Noriega told KABC-TV. “He had no idea that Nipsey would be there.”
TMZ had previously reported that Lathan was there to get new clothes from Hussle after his release from prison.
