It is not clear which one is Nipsey, but the people appear to be talking. Others are milling about in front of the store. A figure dressed in dark clothing appears to approach the four and then everyone scatters. Two of the people standing by the car don’t get far, however. They fall to the ground. One of them, wearing a white hat and shirt, appears to try to get back up but promptly collapses. A suspect has been named in Nipsey’s shooting death, the Los Angeles Police Department announced Monday night after a memorial to the rapper ended in a stampede that injured multiple people, two critically. Eric Holder, 29, is wanted for homicide, the LAPD announced early Tuesday. Eric Holder The Grammy-nominated artist was shot Sunday in the Hyde Park neighborhood. In a statement, police said Holder walked up to Nipsey and two other men as they stood outside a business in a strip mall on West Slauson Boulevard. He fired multiple times and then ran to a nearby alley where a vehicle – “driven by an unidentified female” – was waiting for him, police said. Holder entered from the passenger side and the vehicle fled, authorities said. Nipsey died in the shooting and the two other men were injured and transported to the hospital. “Detectives have worked tirelessly and are now asking for the public’s help in locating the suspect in this case,” police said in a statement. Holder was last seen in a white, four-door, 2016 Chevy Cruze, with the California license plate 7RJD742, the police department said on Twitter. “Anyone with information related to his whereabouts or this deadly shooting is urged to contact South Bureau Homicide at 323-786-5100.” Eric Holder is wanted for Homicide in the shooting of Nipsey Hussle.

One police officer also was injured, police spokeswoman Meghan Aguilar said during a news briefing. At one point, there was “mass panic and chaos” in the area, with about 300 people running from the location at once, she said. It is unclear what, if anything, caused the stampede. The Los Angeles Fire Department transported 19 patients, a majority of them with “trample injuries,” the fire department said. On the CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS live signal, some people were seen carrying others who appeared to be injured, as emergency officials worked on people on the ground. Of the patients transported by the fire department, two had critical injuries and two had serious injuries. The others suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the fire department said. One person was injured in a collision with a car, the fire department said. There were no gunshot wounds to any of the injured, the LAPD told CNN. Aguilar said rocks and bottles were thrown at officers as the area was being cleared. At least one person has been detained for disorderly conduct, she said.

We are asking for everyone to follow the officers directions and disperse from the immediate area. — LAPD HQ (@LAPDHQ) April 2, 2019 Los Angeles County supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas called for “calm” following news of the rapper’s death. “I urge calm and a period of reflection. Violent retaliation for this event will not be tolerated,” he said. “For healing to occur, even from this terrible incident, justice must be sought through legal means, and community peace must be found.” He said Nipsey was “a father, businessman, entertainer, and inspiration to many.” Beyond the massive crowd that banded to honor the rapper near where he died, hundreds more mourned across the nation, and emphasized the gaping hole that Nipsey’s death will leave on his community. Last year, the rapper opened a workspace and science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, center that he described as a bridge between Silicon Valley and the inner city. He hoped it would help give more opportunities to young people.<doc-sep>LOS ANGELES — The suspect in the shooting of Nipsey Hussle, the Grammy-nominated rapper, was arrested on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Eric Holder, the suspect arrested by Los Angeles Police Tuesday in the homicide of rapper Nipsey Hussle is being held in solitary confinement on more than $7 million bond, the Los Angeles Police Department says. After his initial arrest Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Holder was transferred to the custody of the LAPD's South Bureau Homicide unit and is currently housed in the LAPD's 77th Street jail, according to booking records. Police have not yet said whether they have located the woman who drove Holder from the scene. In a Tuesday press conference, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said police believe he and Hussle were "known to each other" and that the shooter was motivated by personal animus rather than gang rivalries. Here's what else is known about the investigation at this point: Lauren London speaks out Hours after Holder's arrest, Hussle's longtime girlfriend, actress Lauren London, took to Instagram to say she's "completely lost" after the rapper was gunned down at the same place the couple first met. "I’ve lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul....I’m lost without you," she wrote alongside a series of pictures of the rapper. "We are lost without you babe. I have no words." The couple started dating in 2013 and have one son together – Kross Asghedom, 2. London is also mother to 9-year-old son Cameron Carter with rapper Lil Wayne, while Hussle had daughter Emani Asghedom from a previous relationship. London shared a picture of their blended family dressed all in white. LAPD chief: Shooting was over a personal dispute, not the result of gang violence Moore said that while his department has reason to believe that the shooting suspect belongs to a gang, they are operating under the understanding that the shooting was personal, not gang-related. At the time, Moore also called upon Holder to surrender: "If Eric Holder is watching and listening, I ask him to surrender and to defend himself as he feels appropriate … but to stop this from continuing." 1 stabbed, 19 injured as violence breaks out at vigil One person was stabbed and others were injured from unknown causes after violence broke out during a vigil Monday evening at The Marathon Clothing, the South Los Angeles boutique where Hussle was gunned down one day earlier. Of the 19 people transported from the scene by first responders, Moore said the majority of cases were "cuts and sprains" sustained in the stampede after someone brandished a handgun and another person tried to disarm him. He added that reports that shots had been fired did not prove true. Of the handful of critical cases, one person was hit by a car amid the chaos. At least one appeared to have been stabbed, as witnessed by a USA TODAY reporter. However, the Los Angeles Fire Department later said it was unclear whether the wounds were the result of an intentional stabbing or broken glass. Violence breaks out at Nipsey Hussle memorial: At least one stabbed, 19 injured LAPD names suspect; surveillance camera footage found Late Monday night, the LAPD also put a name and face to the suspect at the center of Monday's manhunt: Eric Holder. The department issued a tweet overnight with Holder's photo and said he fled the scene in a white, 4-door 2016 Chevy Cruze sedan with California license plate 74JD742. The tweet asked that anyone with information call the South Bureau Homicide unit at (323) 786-5100 or submit a tip at lacrimestoppers.org. TMZ and CNN obtained security-camera footage from a nearby business that shows the suspect walking up to Hussle and two other men in front of his clothing store at about 3:20 p.m. PDT and firing at them multiple times before running to an alley and fleeing into a waiting car driven by an unidentified female. The suspect: LAPD releases name after rapper's autopsy is completed Autopsy: Hussle took shots to head and torso Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, died from gunshot wounds of the head and torso, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said Monday. Hussle was one of three men shot Sunday. One was listed as being in stable condition while the other refused treatment saying his wounds were minor. A large crowd gathered outside the store as night fell.
