LOS ANGELES POLICE have arrested ERIC HOLDER for the shooting murder of rapper NIPSEY HUSSLE on SUNDAY (NET NEWS, 4/1). A tweet from LAPD read: "Thank you to both our community for the heightened awareness/vigilance, and our partners at @LASDHQ," also included the words "In custody" over HOLDER's face.

LOS ANGELES POLICE Chief MICHEL MOORE told reporters that HUSSLE was acquainted with the suspect, and that the shooting was likely the product of a personal dispute. Video surveillance and witness statements have HOLDER approaching NIPSEY and others multiple times, conversing with them in front of a store HUSSLE owns.

The surveillance video then caught HOLDER, 29, returning to the scene with a handgun and "purposely and repeatedly fired" at the men, injuring two of them and killing the rapper.
