The suspect is 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.

AceShowbiz - LAPD is one step closer to solving Nipsey Hussle murder case. On Monday, April 1, a day after the shooting took place in South Los Angeles, the authorities have identified a suspect who is allegedly responsible for the death of the rapper.

According to a news release by the Los Angeles Police Department, the man in question is Eric Holder, a 29-year-old Los Angeles resident with gang ties. He was last seen in a 2016 white 4 door Chevy Cruze CA license plate 7RJD742, which he rode away after opening fire multiple times at Nipsey and his friends in front of his Marathon Clothing store on Sunday.

Search is underway for the suspect and police are seeking people's help in locating the suspect. Those who have information about the gunman's whereabouts are urged to contact South Bureau Homicide at 323-786-5100.

It was previously reported that the shooter apparently was an acquaintance of Nipsey. He reportedly got into a heated conversation with "The Life" hitmaker and confronted the star, whose real name is Ermias Asghedom, to ask him if he had snitched to cops in the past. The man in question left to get a gun before he was caught on surveillance camera returning to shoot Nipsey and his friends.

Nipsey was pronounced dead at the hospital after paramedics performed CPR on the scene and during the ambulance ride. Coroner confirmed he died of gunshot wounds to the head and torso. He was 33. Two other victims survived.

Nipsey admitted in the past that he was a member of L.A. street gang Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips in his youth. He, however, was living on the right path in the past few years. Sharing his theory of the murder, T.I. who was saddened by his fellow rapper's passing speculated that it was fueled by envy and hate because Nipsey, who lived in the same neighborhood as the shooter, managed to advance in life and lead his community by example.
