The man who was initially wanted for the murder of Nipsey Hussle is now in police custody. He was tailed and arrested around the Bellflower area of Los Angeles.
While confirming the arrest, the Los Angeles County Police Department told newsmen from CBS that the suspect, Eric Holder, was apprehended by some Police Deputies after going into a mental health clinic.
Chief Michel Moore of the LAPD equally explained that Holder had walked up to the Nipsey Hussle and the other young men he shot at, on several occasions last Sunday.
But the last time he approached them, he went with a gun and began to shoot sporadically.
He further stated, “Mr. Holder walked up on multiple occasions and engaged in a conversation with Nipsey and the others that were there. He left and subsequently came back armed with a handgun, and purposefully and repeatedly fired, striking and killing Nipsey Hussle.”
One of the men he shot was rushed to the hospital for treatment while the third victim demanded to be treated at the scene of the crime.
After shooting at the three men, the suspect hurriedly left the scene and hopped into a Chevrolet Vehicle which was driven by an unknown lady.
The police chief also mentioned that the rapper and Holder had been arguing over an undisclosed issue prior to the time the latter went back to pick up a gun.
He stated, “At this point in our investigation, based on witness statements, and the background of those that we’ve identified, we believe this to be a dispute between Mr. Hussle and Mr. Holder.
“It appears to be a personal matter between the two of them in regards to a dispute, and I’ll leave it at that.”
