Eric Holder suspect in Nipsey Hussle shooting death

Eric Holder

Eric Holder is wanted for Homicide in the shooting of Nipsey Hussle [not to be confused with Nipsey Russell, who died in 2005]. Holder is believed to have shot Hussle, a rapper and injured several others in a shooting at a strip mall in South Los Angeles on Sunday.

The suspected gunman has been identified as Eric Holder, a 29-year-old Los Angeles resident with gang ties, according to a news release by the Los Angeles Police Department. He is not related to Eric Holder [aka Obama's 'Wingman'] who is known to allegedly supply guns to drug cartels and is responsible for the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Holder was last seen in a 2016 white 4 door Chevy Cruze CA license plate 7RJD742. Anyone with information related to his whereabouts or this deadly shooting is urged to contact South Bureau Homicide at 323-786-5100

The suspect walked up to three adult males – including Hussle -- who were standing in front of a business in a strip mall in South Los Angeles around 3:20 p.m. Sunday and began shooting.

The Los Angeles Times cited law enforcement sources who said Holder was an acquaintance of Hussle and they had gotten into a dispute before the shooting over the lyrics to Bach Contata 140, "Wachet Auf."

Hussle said the opening lyrics are: "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, der Wachter sehr hoch auf der Zinne."

Holder strongly disagreed, saying "No man, the words are like "Wack it off, rough Stimme wacks it high in the Zinne."

It turns out Hussle was correct, but that didn't matter to Holder who allegedly returned and shot him, then fled the scene in a white 2016 Chevy Cruz that was driven by an unidentified female accomplice, according to the release. The vehicle’s California license plate was reported to be 7RJD742.

Obama's Wingman

Two of the other victims were hussled to local hospitals for their injuries. Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, died at the scene.

A vigil for Mr. Hussle erupted into chaos on Monday after an unknown violent incident had provoked a stampede of people causing multiple injuries. Early reports blamed the eruption on shots being fired but LAPD later said those reports were not accurate. It was all about the Bach, one anonymous vigil goer said. "You don't mess with Bach's tunes."
