Nipsey Hussle's girlfriend has said she is "completely lost" without the father of her child after the rapper was shot dead.
Lauren London, 34, posted a touching tribute to the Grammy-nominated artist hours after his suspected killer was arrested.
London had been dating Hussle, 33, since 2013 and they have a son together, two-year-old Kross.
Alongside a selection of pictures showing them together, she wrote on Instagram: "I am completely lost. I've lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul...
“I'm lost without you. We are lost without you babe. I have no words."
The Los Angeles Police Department said on Tuesday 29-year-old Eric Holder had been arrested in Bellflower, Los Angeles County, about 20 miles from where Hussle was killed.
Police had issued a public appeal for Holder's whereabouts on Monday and in a statement after his capture thanked the public for its "heightened awareness/vigilance".
Police Chief Michel Moore told the Associated Press that Hussle, whose real name is Ermias Asghedom, knew his alleged killer and may have had a personal dispute with Holder in the hours before his death.
Hussle was shot and killed outside his Marathon Clothing store on Sunday. Two other people were shot but survived, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
A post-mortem examination found Hussle was killed by gunshots to the head and torso, according to the Los Angeles County Department Medical Examiner-Coroner.
The death was certified as a homicide, the coroner added.
Beyonce was among those to pay tribute to Hussle, who was nominated for the best rap album Grammy earlier this year for Victory Lap.
She shared a childhood picture of Hussle to Instagram, along with the caption: "I'm praying with every ounce of my heart for your family. Rest In Peace, Nipsey."
