The woman reportedly gave a convoluted story about how she and Holder met and claimed she was going to call police to “clear my name.” But when TMZ contacted detectives on the case, they confirmed having not received such a call yet, the report said.

The woman ended the call before answering additional questions about Holder’s whereabouts now.

The 29-year-old Los Angeles-based aspiring rapper is reportedly on the run as the murder case of the beloved rapper intensifies. Holder has a history with firearms-related offenses, heavy.com noted. Police have also confirmed that he has gang ties and he who may have targeted Nipsey over some personal beef.

“I ask him [Holder] to surrender,” police chief Michel Moore said during an April 2 news conference. “Stop this from continuing.”

Mayor Eric Garcetti noted that “Nipsey Hussle was someone who was a gifted and brilliant artist. He was working closely with this city. He was a tireless advocate for the young people of this city and this world. His impact on our city was deep.”
