Eric Holder, Suspect In Nipsey Hussle Murder, Captured In Bellflower
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – A man suspected of gunning down musician Nipsey Hussle over a personal dispute has been captured in the Bellflower area of Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told CBS2 that 29-year-old Eric Holder was caught by deputies sometime before 1:30 p.m. in the 9900 block of Artesia Boulevard. Los Angeles police responded to the scene and confirmed the man arrested was indeed Holder.
Hussle, 33, was killed in a triple-shooting Sunday afternoon in a South Los Angeles which left two other men wounded.
LAPD Chief Michel Moore told reporters Tuesday that Holder, a gang member, approached Hussle and the other men he was with several times Sunday and spoke with them. Holder then returned with a handgun and opened fire.
On Monday night, more than a dozen people were injured when the crowd at a memorial for Hussle stampeded from the area in South Central Los Angeles after a fight broke out.
