Police have arrested a man suspected of killing rapper Nipsey Hussle
Earlier on Tuesday, police announced they were seeking to arrest a man named Eric Holder for Hussle's Sunday murder. Police in the southeast Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower say Holder was the man they arrested Tuesday, but a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department would "only say a possible suspect has been detained," The Washington Post reports.
Hussle, a 33-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper, was shot multiple times outside his clothing store in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. Police later said they believed the shooting stemmed from a "personal matter" between Hussle and the suspect. Hussle was a former gang member who had been actively speaking against gang violence, and the suspect was believed to have gang ties. The LAPD later identified the suspect as 29-year-old Holder and asked him to surrender. Police did not detail how the Tuesday arrest happened.
