The Los Angeles Police Department has identified a suspect in Sunday’s murder of rapper and community activist Nipsey Hussle.
“Eric Holder is wanted for Homicide in the shooting of Nipsey Hussle,” the LAPD tweeted early Tuesday morning.
“He was last seen in a 2016 white 4 door Chevy Cruze CA license plate 7RJD742,” the tweet continues. “Anyone with information related to his whereabouts or this deadly shooting is urged to contact South Bureau Homicide at 323-786-5100.”
The news came just hours after at least 19 people were injured during a Monday night vigil for Hussle in South Los Angeles when a panic ensued after false reports of shots fired at the scene. The Los Angeles Fire Department said two of the injured were in critical condition and two in serious condition, with the majority of the injuries non-life-threatening and said to be caused by being trampled while attempting to flee the scene.
Grammy-nominated rapper Hussle, 33, born Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was shot multiple times and killed Sunday afternoon outside of his Marathon Clothing store in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles.
