The Los Angeles Police Department identified a suspect in the killing of rapper Nipsey Hussle on Monday night. Police said they were seeking Eric Holder, 29, of Los Angeles, in connection with the shooting death of the Grammy-nominated rapper. He was last seen in a 2016 white four-door Chevy Cruze with the California license plate 7RJD742. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call South Bureau Homicide at 323-786-5100. The shooting was reported around 3:20 p.m. in the 3400 block of Slauson Avenue in Hyde Park on Sunday. Hussle owns a store called Marathon Clothing at 3420 W. Slauson. The Los Angeles Police Department said three people were shot in the area. The Los Angeles County coroner’s office Monday afternoon confirmed Hussle’s cause of death was gunshot wounds to the head and torso and was classified as a homicide. He was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Sunday.

A number of these unverified accounts have offered up the following narrative (which has not been confirmed by the LAPD): Holder went into Hussle’s store, and Hussle told him to leave because he was a “snitch,” and Holder then became angry and felt “disrespected,” thus triggering the violence. Again, this has not been confirmed by the police force, but rather is a theory floating around on Twitter from users who claim to be familiar with the situation .
