Eric Holder, the suspect in the fatal shooting of Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle, was charged Thursday with murder and two counts of attempted murder, authorities said.

Holder, 29, is being held in a Los Angeles jail. He was also charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.

Prosecutors recommended bail be set at $5,000,000, according to a criminal complaint. If convicted of murder, Holder faces between 25 years and life in prison.

Los Angeles police Chief Michel Moore told reporters Tuesday morning that Holder and Nipsey knew each other, and the suspect had approached the rapper several times on Sunday.

Though the rapper was a member of an arm of the Crips street gang and police believe Holder belongs to a gang as well, Moore declined to specify any gang affiliation and said the dispute between the two does not appear gang-related.

I loved Nipsey Russell when I was a kid. He was always smiling, and he could even take a Don Rickles shot and laugh uproariously!

Maybe Holder’s lawyer should petition to have the trial moved to Chicago.

Ha ha! No harm, no foul. I’d be wrong, if I said I don’t!
Best of luck!
