How a Lyft driver became the unwitting getaway driver in Nipsey Hussle's slaying

LOS ANGELES — Bryannita Nicholson had no idea Nipsey Hussle had been shot — even as she drove the man who killed the beloved L.A. rapper away from the crime scene.

Nicholson had met the man in her passenger seat, Eric Holder Jr., only one month earlier, when she picked him up in that same Chevy Cruze while she was driving for Lyft.

The 35-year-old caretaker and rideshare driver didn't consider Holder a "boyfriend," but she said the two had been intimate and hung out "every other day" for weeks, meeting up at the Santa Monica Pier, along the Hollywood Walk of Fame and at a home music studio in Long Beach.
