LAPD Identify Suspect in Shooting Death of Nipsey Hussle

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has named the suspect wanted in the shooting death of Nipsey Hussle.

Late Monday, LAPD officials said 29-year-old Eric Holder was wanted for homicide. Holder was last entering the passenger side of a white 2016 Chevy Cruze with a California license plate near the scene of the shooting, which also injured others. An unidentified woman was seen operating the vehicle at the time. Additional info has not been released. 

Police have now requested the assistance of the public:

Also on Monday, Hussle—as previously revealed by Los Angeles Police Commission president Steve Soboroff—was originally scheduled to meet with LAPD officials alongside Roc Nation to discuss gang violence. Though reports early Monday suggested the meeting would move forward with a Roc Nation rep joining Soboroff and LAPD Chief Michel Moore on Hussle’s behalf, the meeting was ultimately postponed. According to the latest word from TMZ, Hussle’s family wants to participate on the meeting on his behalf but were unable to make it happen this soon.

At his show at the O2 in London Monday night, Drake—who collaborated with Hussle on the 2009 track “Killer”—paid his respects to the 33-year-old artist as someone who “provided for his people.”

During his set, which marked the first of a 7-night residency at the arena, Drake also called for everyone to “look around and be grateful and happy” for having the chance to share in such a communal experience. “I just want to say I love you, I’m thankful to be here with you tonight,” he told the crowd. “London, as long as you’ll have me back I’ll stand in the middle of this building and I’ll give you everything I fucking got. Cheers my brother. Rest easy, my G.”

Rest in power.
