Suspect In Nipsey Hussle's Shooting Arrested
cnn.com: Eric Holder, the man police think fatally shot rapper Nipsey Hussle on Sunday has been arrested, Los Angeles police announced on Twitter.
"Thank you to both our community for the heightened awareness/vigilance, and our partners at @LASDHQ," police said in the tweet, which included the words "In custody" over Holder's face.
Nipsey and the man suspected of killing him knew each other, and the shooting appears to be the product of a personal dispute, Los Angeles police Chief Michel Moore told reporters Tuesday morning.
Moore declined to elaborate on the feud between the two, saying he didn't want to jeopardize any potential prosecution, but he said the suspect -- who was identified via surveillance video and witnesses as Holder -- approached Nipsey and others multiple times, engaging them in conversation.
At one point, Holder, 29, returned with a handgun and "purposely and repeatedly fired" at the men, injuring two of them and killing the rapper, he said.
Though the rapper was a member of an arm of the Crips street gang and police believe Holder belongs to a gang as well, Moore declined to specify any gang affiliation and said the dispute between the two does not appear gang-related.
