\"Our men and women are on scene and making every effort to protect everyone in attendance at the Nipsey Hussle vigil,\" the LAPD said in a statement. \"Reports of shots fired at the vigil do not appear to be accurate. We do have injured in the chaos and are attempting to restore order.\"

LAPD officers began forming skirmish lines to keep people away from the scene. They told people to avoid the area while city workers cleaned up the scene.

\"We understand the community is mourning and we feel your loss,\" the statement said. \"We are asking for everyone to follow the officers directions and disperse from the immediate area.\"

Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, was shot multiple times in the head and torso while standing outside of his store around 3:20 p.m. local time on Sunday, authorities said.

Police named 29-year-old Eric Holder as a suspect in the shooting late Monday night and asked for the public's help in locating him.

The Los Angeles Police Department did not say whether Holder had any known ties to Hussle, but law enforcement sources previously told ABC News the shooting appeared to have been targeted and personal based on how it was carried out.

The rapper, known for his philanthropic efforts and business ventures throughout south LA, received an outpouring of love and praise from some of the music industry's biggest stars in the wake of his death.

Hussle, a Los Angeles native, is survived by his two children and his longtime girlfriend, actress Lauren London.

ABC News' Alex Stone and Marilyn Heck contributed to this report.
