Police Identify Nipsey Hussle Suspected Killer

Police identified the suspect in rapper Nipsey Hussle’s murder late Monday as Los Angeles resident Eric Holder.

Authorities say Holder, 29, allegedly walked up to Hussle’s store and shot him and two other men before getting into a car and fleeing the scene, NBC News reported Tuesday. A woman reportedly drove the vehicle that aided Holder in his escape.

Hussle, 33, was shot and killed Sunday outside of his clothing store in LA, NBC News reported.

Hussle’s murder brought the total of LA shootings and deaths for the week to 26 people shot and 10 killed, CNN reported.

Following the rapper’s death, crowds gathered outside the rapper’s store Monday night to remember and celebrate Hussle’s life. The memorial quickly went awry after a loud noise caused the mourners to panic and flee, causing a massive stampede that injured at least 19 people, ABC News reported.

Before his death, Hussle released hit album “Victory Lap” in February 2018.
