Nipsey Hussle murder suspect arrested in Los Angeles

A suspect in the murder of Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle has been arrested, officials say.

Eric Holder, 29, had been on the run after fleeing the scene of the shooting in a waiting car, Los Angeles Police Department said.

Hussle, 33, was gunned down outside his clothing store in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Investigators believe the shooting was the result of a “personal matter” between Mr Holder and Hussle.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore told reporters the suspect had a verbal altercation with the rapper.

Mr Moore said at one point the suspect left but them came back with a gun and opened fire.

Surveillance footage shows a man in a dark shirt firing at least three times before fleeing, TMZ reported. Two other people were wounded in the shooting.
