Dying man tells cops ‘F–k you’ when asked to ID his shooter

Those were a dying man’s defiant last words to cops when they asked who had shot him on Wednesday night.

Arsenio Gravesande, 28 — an acquaintance of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle — was blasted in the left hip following a beef on a Brownsville street corner around 9:20 p.m., authorities said.

Cops who raced to the scene at Union Street and Sutter Avenue asked Gravesande his name and to identify the shooter, but were met with the profane response.

“F–k you, son,” Gravesande — a known Crip with 43 arrests to his name — told the officers with what proved to be his final words to law enforcement, according to sources.

“Sometimes they cool down and talk to us,” said a police source. “They have a change of heart and ID the shooter.”

But Gravesande never had that chance, as doctors at Brookdale Hospital determined that what had initially appeared to be a non-life threatening gunshot had in fact struck multiple arteries, sources said.

Gravesande went in for emergency surgery but could not be saved and instead became one of five people shot dead in the span of 22 hours Tuesday across Brooklyn and Queens.

Hussle — himself a reformed Crip who was fatally shot in Los Angeles in March — met with Gravesande while the rap star was filming a music video in Brooklyn, his grieving relatives said.

Investigators have yet to identify a suspect or motive in Gravesande’s slaying.
