Grammy-nominated rapper and activist, Nipsey Hussle’s shooter has been identified as a member of his set “Rollin 60’s Crips.” The shooter was identified as Eric Holder aka “Shitty Cuz”.
This is according to a Los Angeles Times report published on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles police said the shooter got into a dispute with the rapper before the shooting.
Nipsey had asked him to leave his property due to prior conflict of him snitching, but he felt disrespected so he came back to do the shooting. The L.A police have already declared him wanted.

The shooting came a day before Hussle was scheduled to meet with LAPD Chief Michel Moore and Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff “to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids,” Soboroff said.
