According to the LAPD's tweet, the suspected killer, Eric Holder was picked up on Tuesday, April 2, 2019.

"I am completely lost. I’ve lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul....I’m lost without you. We are lost without you, babe. I have no words," she wrote.

Nipsey Hussle's journey was quite an interesting one as he struggled to find fame but began selling his own mixtapes, which hip-hop royalty Jay-Z once bought 100 of for $100 each.
