It’s no secret Nipsey Hussle was all about uplifting those in his Los Angeles community, which makes his March 31 shooting death even more devastating to those who knew him. According to TMZ, Neighborhood Nip was at his Marathon Clothing store — where the triple shooting occurred — to help a friend who was just released from prison.
Sources close to the slain rapper said Nipsey wanted to hook the man up with some fresh gear so he could look presentable before meeting up with his own family and friends later that day. He’d been in prison for roughly 20 years.
Nipsey wasn’t able to notify his team or primary security guard he’d be going to the store alone since it was an impromptu visit. Nobody was aware he’d left home.
Shortly after arriving to the store, Nipsey was shot at least six times and rushed to a local hospital where he later died.
The alleged killer, Eric Holder, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon (April 2) in the L.A. suburb of Bellflower.
The Blast reports Holder’s criminal history includes weapons arrests and domestic violence that resulted in anger management counseling.
In 2009, Holder was arrested and charged with domestic battery against the mother of his child. He pleaded guilty to a battery charge after working out a deal to complete an anger management treatment program. He was also instructed to stay at least 100 yards away from her.
His anger management treatment program was classified as Level 3, which is a minimum 36-hour to 52-hour course covering topics like handling stress, discussing problems and taking time-outs.
The 29-year-old Holder was then arrested in 2012 and charged with two felonies for carrying a loaded firearm. However, he worked out a deal with prosecutors and pled no contest to one felony charge. As a result, he was sentenced to six months in L.A. County jail and given credit for time served.
He was ordered to not “own, use or possess any dangerous or deadly weapons, including firearms, knives or other concealable weapons.”
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department website states Holder’s bail is currently set at just over $7 million.
Looks like a set-up to me…
Yup. Y’all watched Belly right? DMX’s character? Remember when they pretty much brainwashed dude to murder a leader in the community? It’s not uncommon. If people want to read up on revolutionary leaders that went against the grain, say Africa, those that understood the European rule and colonialism mind state, one can see how they were killed by those that they wanted to lead. There’s a bigger picture. These days we got Russian fools enticing wars online, trolling to create drama as an example. Regardless, stay woke, recognize THE REAL enemy, and carry out the vision that our slain leaders had so that we all could live a life of peace, equality and longevity. All hate stems from the REAL killers of the world. The Europeans.
Again playing the victim smfh.. black people claiming they trying to run from the system but they running straight into it.. once somebody tries to do good for your community what you do? Kill them and blame on everybody but yourself. X tried to spread positivity- dead, nip did more for la than la did man i swear yall need to take responsibility for your actions already its 2019 how much longer are you going to blame europeans for huh?
I respect your point. Some of us blacks play the victim card sometimes when its a situation that could have happened to anybody. But you can’t deny powerful nations have been behind the murders of some important black leaders esparcually in Africa. Belgium have accepted the had a hand in Patrice Lumumbas death which they used his own people in doing so. It happened to Kwame Nkrumah and Gadafi as well. The CIA alone has committed more crimes than Boko Haram but its African leaders who are tried at the ICC. How about all those Eastern European leader who have caused wars with their resultant effects still evident today?
Quit lying. Nobody says “us blacks”
It’s so easy to be an idiot from behind a computer screen. If you don’t shut your backwoods, never seen or talked to a black person in your life lookin ass up… The sad thing is, you don’t know how stupid you are. “Y’all need to take responsibility for your actions…” WHO IS Y’ALL??? Do you really think “our community” is ok with and quiet about all of these murders?? You swear the whole community came and killed this man. Naw bro, we’re devastated, confused, and tired of this shit. It really doesn’t matter though, you gonna stay your extra dumb internet-informed ass self regardless what I say to you. I just wrote this to get it off my chest. I feel better now, thank you.
But side note, if you don’t think theres any truth to the social conditioning that your European ancestors (and mine, I know I got some in me) have continually done throughout American history ( and World History ) up until today, you need to do some homework. But you wont, you’re just going to keep saying dumb shit thinking its smart. I just want to to remember this message sometimes when you’re thinking your dumb ass white thoughts and maybe one day you’ll pick up a fuckin book and realize this World is more than meets your privileged white eye.
Peace, my man.
Yup is an idiot. The Arabs and the Chinese empires also wiped out civilizations. African tribes went to war against each other too, was that the Europeans fault? Or is it just human nature? To blame Europeans is very small-minded. You sound like a racist trying to justify your hate against the white race. Grow up.
He was murdered for trying to get the word out about Dr. Sebi and expose the big pharma mafia. Just like Lisa Left Eye. Time to wake up people, nature cures all
Please STFU
Say it louder, Loco. For the clowns like Casor.
there are hundreds of videos on youtube discussing Dr. Sebi’s holistic remedies and dietary program that have been out for years. Shut the fuck up already…..
Stop it. There is no conspiracy. Nipsey didn’t want Fly Macc coming around in the hood becase he snitched. Fly Macc & Nipsey were both from 60s. Macc got mad at Nipsey calling him a rat & killed him.
Man, please shut up!
I plan to visit the store and support the cause. Gotta support Cuz and Fam!!
I hope they some items on sale cause those Tees are high
You cheap bitch.
I hope yall know a snitch is a government employee. How does a snitch that ratted come to his hood and come back blasting for being called a rat? That shit sounds right to yall? smh
Man he was ordered to not posses firearms in the state of california one of the most strict gun law states and toughest to get one in also the state that does not enforce illegal immigration it couldnt possibly be the illegal cartel are the ones who brings the weapons into the city and sell that shit to these fools? Stupidest politicians in the country hey lets preach no gun violence then hey lets leave loopholes open for guns to be smuggled into our country and dont even think for a second they aint bringin guns if they can smuggle people they can smuggle in guns just as easy just plain stupid shit
First time you’ve posted a sensible comment in your life I guess
There’s a first time for everything Like the first time I let a man smash me raw
Congress doesn’t really care about guns when they are in the hands of criminals. They only want to disarm law-abiding citizens. They love illegals because they’re stupid/ desperate enough to vote Democrat. Illegals are voting in our local elections now which means nobody will stop them
From voting in other elections beyond city/state. This is what Congress will allow because it keeps them in power.
Provide one example of an “illegal” voting. You can’t and neither can Trump so stfu! Its a myth created by the racist right wing media. The biggest case of voter fraud was committed by the Republican party in North Carolina. Do your research
You obviously dont know where the cartels get their weapons. I’ll give you a hint… Same place as Saudi Arabia and Israel.
It isn’t that difficult to buy guns in California, and blaming the Cartels is the easy way out. Many guns come within our own country itself. A loop hole in federal gun laws has allowed people to buy guns from “Sellers” without any sort of background check or identification at gun trade shows and events. Then those guns get spread around. A farmer in Northern California had been selling guns in Nevada for years. ATF agents told him to stop and that guns he had sold had been found at crime scenes throughout CA. He refused and it was found that he had sold over 400 guns at the Reno trade shows since 2012
So the ‘alleged’ shooter snitched aka worked with cops. Nips was in the process of meeting cops the next day to stop gang violence. The shooter is bad because someone did time? Legit trying to find out when it’s ok to talk to cops and not.
What?
1 – when it directly results in someone else going to jail
My god! Lol the media is really trying hard to make this guy the next Tupac or Biggie. They love stories with lots of drama and half truths. Nipsey wasn’t a martyr or anyone to look up to. If he did some good things towed his later years, that’s cool, but don’t act like this guy didn’t bring this on himself. If you mess w gangs u have a 95%chance of dying young. Facts over emotion!
You big mad for no reason
95 % lol. Gotta love the Trump era where people just make up complete bullshit statistics with absolutely no facts. There’s like 120,000 gang members in Los Angeles alone, 95% don’t die young fool but go ahead preach your bullshit.
You’re an ugly human being for saying that. You brought that on yourself.
you must be 15. in real life, deliberate stupidity gets you killed just like Nipsey, whether you were doing something nice or not at the time of the killing.
you better understand no one care if you die too. Don’t carry your life careless

How is he different from Big or Pac?
Take away the records and Big just a crack dealer, so explain what makes him special.

How would the dude know to come up there if it was an impromptu visit that Nipsey didn’t share with anybody else… smh smell funny to me
Y’all over react for everything. Not everything is a conspiracy. If you’ve followed along it all seems pretty standard.
You’re stupid, maybe he was waiting for him? They had a conversation prior to the shooting .
He knew he was there cause Nipsey told the guy to leave his store prior to the shooting.
I’m aware that there was a discussion that led to the guy coming back to the parking lot, the point that I was making is, if Nipsey didn’t tell anyone what he was doing, how did the killer know that Nipsey was going to be there from the beginning, the story stated the heated discussion happened in front of the store. He knew to be there, that’s my only point I’m making, the dispute would not have happened if he did not know to come up to the store…..
I did not mention or imply that it’s a conspiracy.
I’m thinking about that guy who came out from jail after 20 years. One of the first things he saw after being released was deadly shooting and death of his friend. Starting new life done wrong

could this be staged? maybe nipsey joined tupac in Malaysia.
nah bruh, tupac is in Bandung, Indonesia tho, I saw him looking fly as shit with his homies.
Of course this was stage there is plenty evidence to suggest his grammy nod make sense now that he “dead” how he got a nod on a year that Drake or Eminem drop albums and don’t get me started on that TMZ video…
Fuck Nipsey. Nipsey was a gangbanger and was dealt a gangbanger’s death. He knew the rules…..
I hope u die, ur mom should of killed u.
Yeah so fucking heartbreaking. Mr.wannabe Frank White couldnt wait to dress up one of his gang buddies fresh out of jail when he got popped by another one of his upstanding companions.
Boo – hoo so sad cue head gangster creep Jay Z with 15 million for the gangster’s kid.
Garbage like this didn’t build rap. This is the garbage that destroyed THIS ERA of rap and that’s good. Between Troy Ave and Nipsey USA RAP IS OVER
Here’s my only question; how did the alleged shooter calculate that Nips would be at the store alone? Or was he just driving by and said, Oh, wait, there’s Nips, let me snuff ’em…the whole thing is weird. But anyways, it’s very sad still…I knew Nips was still tied to streets in some way, but I also softened my outlook on him because I didn’t realize that he was actually doing so much for the community in which he was brought up. I was thinking the guy was a tough guy, but at the same time, I was still upset and deeply saddened behind the senseless murder. I was looking forward to new music from him, WHILE ALIVE.
Only thing I could think of is the shooter got word nip guy was being released and if nip and the guy was that cool shit it’s not hard to put two and two together, he knew nip was all for uplifting people so who didn’t second guess dude would possibly fall off in nip store only assuming nip would be present seeing that his guy just did a 20 piece, just my thought tho.
Homeboy tried to go into Nips store, he known Snitch, Nip ain’t want him around, kicked him out, he came back shooting
Reading comments on here and people are actually very stupid thinking they know it all. See, Nipsey was killed by someone in his set, meaning someone in circle. It wasn’t a rival gang member. Sit down and think for a second you’ll realise it could happen to anyone with a fuckupd friend. People get killed by their friends and this is not the first and won’t be the last. If anything, it should be a lesson to us all day o be more careful. In any case, you all can live to be as old as a tree and Nipsey will still be remembered 50 years from now unlike these haters.

Truth. All these stereotypical comments referring to gang life, you can tell they are not from the hood and dont know about street life. Right off the bat I knew some type of personal was involved with this whole thing. Im thinking, who and why would they kill Nip like that?? He was a positive influence in his community. It goes with the saying, watch the ones next to you whether you are in a gang or not. This dude who killed Nipsey you can tell he’s been hating on Nipsey for the longest and his bullshit boiled over and killed a good man.
stop with the nonsense. if dude was in Nipsey’s set and Nipsey was calling him a snitch what does that mean? No dap at the cookout? First they start calling you a snitch then you get the text about that work they need you to pick up over by the pier if you know what i mean.
gang dudes kill each other all the time whether it’s over rumours, girls, drugs whatever… If someone wanted to put in his mind that Nipsey was the enemy he was right there to be taken out since he wanted to be Frank White
Why would the community want someone dead that helped your community grow. That put your place on the map and was born and raised within it. This was a setup he was too powerful and set to be even moreso. It’s a modern day assanation and you need people that know him to help bring him down. Co incidence his body guard was not on duty……he was set up
