Eric Holder, the suspect involved in the death of Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle, has been arrested.
The Los Angeles Police Department tweeted Tuesday morning that officers were on the lookout for Holder, who bears the same name as former President Barack Obama’s attorney general. He was arrested Tuesday afternoon, CBS Los Angeles reports.
Hussle, whose legal name is Ermias Davidson Ashgedom, was killed on Sunday in a shooting outside his clothing store with three other men. According to LAPD Chief Michel Moore, Holder was a member of a gang and had initiated conversation with Nipsey several times before opening fire.
“Mr. Holder walked up on multiple occasions and engaged in a conversation with Nipsey and the others that were there,” Moore said. “He left and subsequently came back armed with a handgun, and purposefully and repeatedly fired, striking and killing Nipsey Hussle.”
The incident injured two others.
Hussle’s most current album, “Victory Lap,” was nominated for a Best Rap Album Grammy, and he is also known for his single “Feelin’ Myself,” released in 2010. He is survived by his partner, actress Lauren London, and their two children.
