LOS ANGELES- The man suspected of killing rapper Nipsey Hussle, whose real name is  has been charged with his murder.

Eric Holder, 29, was charged on Thursday with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.  Los Angeles county prosecutors filed these charges.

He’s currently being held on $5 million bail and faces life in prison if convicted.

The other two men that were shot are being treated.
