Nipsey Hussle's alleged killer Eric Holder has been arrested by police

Authorities say Eric Holder, the prime suspect in Nipsey Hussle's shooting death, has been captured. 

"Eric Holder, the suspected killer of Nipsey Hussle, has been arrested and is in police custody," the Los Angeles Police Department tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

Earlier Tuesday the LAPD identified Holder, 29, as the suspect who shot and killed Hussle outside of his South Central Los Angeles boutique Sunday, before fleeing through an alley to a waiting car driven by an unidentified female.

Los Angeles sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida told the Associated Press a man matching the description of Holder was detained Tuesday afternoon in Bellflower, a city about 20 miles southeast of where Hussle was slain Sunday.
 

During a Tuesday morning press conference, Police Chief Michel Moore said the fatal shooting of Hussle was the result of a personal dispute, not gang violence, although authorities believe Holder has gang affiliations. 

Two other men were shot during the attack.  

"Mr. Holder walked up on multiple occasions, engaged in (conversation) with Nipsey, left and came back. He subsequently came back... armed with a handgun, striking and killing Nipsey Hussle," Moore added.

An autopsy completed Monday revealed that the 33-year-old Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, died from gunshots to the head and torso. His death was then certified as a homicide.
