Police Name a Suspect in Nipsey Hussle's Murder

by Daryl Nelson

Police have named a suspect in Nipsey Hussle's murder.

His name is Eric Holder and he also goes by Lil Shitty or Shitty Cuz. A warrant has also been issued for his arrest, and police say he was last spotted in a 2016 white 4 door Chevy Cruze with Cali license plate 7RJD742. But he still hasn't been captured.

Nipsey was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon in the Hyde Park section of Los Angeles in front of his Marathon Clothing Store.

 According to TMZ, Nipsey asked Shitty if he snitched to the police right before the shooting. The rapper apparently heard around town that was the case, and Shitty felt disrespected. He then left the area and came back with a gun. 

There was a surveillance camera nearby, which captured the shooter opening fire and fleeing.

Police are now asking for the public's help to capture Holder.

Eric Holder is wanted for Homicide in the shooting of Nipsey Hussle. He was last seen in a 2016 white 4 door Chevy Cruze CA license plate 7RJD742.
