He will reportedly appear in court to submit a plea to the judge today. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department previously confirmed that the 29-year-old had been captured on April 2 to CBS2.
The suspect in the murder of Nipsey Hussle has been identified by Los Angeles police. The LAPD say that 29-year-old Eric Holder, an LA resident, is wanted for homicide in the shooting of Hussle, real name Ermias Joseph Asghedom. The rapper was shot on Sunday afternoon outside his Marathon Clothing store in South LA.
