Nipsey Hussle Case: LAPD Investigate New Info, Sparks Internal Police Probe

New testimony has revealed that the woman who drove Nipsey Hussle's alleged shooter, Eric Holder, from the scene of the crime on March 31 was turned away after trying to turn herself in following the shooting.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the incident, which has sparked an internal police probe, went down the day after Nipsey's murder. The women, allegedly unaware that she was involved, told a grand jury in May that she became aware of the situation after she saw her car and license plate on the news during the manhunt for the gunman. "Oh my God," she told her mom, according to her May testimony. "My car is on here and everything and I didn’t do anything. I didn’t know this boy was gonna do this."

However, when she and her mother went to the station, the desk officer allegedly told them: " 'Well, don’t worry about it,' you know, 'Don’t listen to the news.' "

"My mom said, 'Well, she needs to talk to somebody.' But he said, 'Don’t worry about it.' So we just left," she continued.

Thankfully, the woman, who was granted immunity in exchange for her testimony, said her mom called the LAPD later and they eventually spoke to the detective on Nipsey's case. LAPD Detective Cedric Washington corroborated her story. "That is true, according to the desk officer that I spoke to about it," he testified. Deputy District Attorney John McKinney then responded, "OK. He apparently missed a briefing in the chief’s press conference that day, I guess."

LAPD spokesman, Josh Rubenstein, however, told the Los Angeles Times last week that the desk officer was confused because the woman and her mother were allegedly not "making [themselves] clear," as the officer allegedly thought the woman was reporting that someone was recording video of her car on TV.

All of which has led to the LAPD's Office opening an internal investigation into why the woman was turned away.

Eric is currently being held in lieu of $6.5 million bail. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
