Investigators say her license plate number has been distributed on social media following the murder of the 33-year-old California-based rapper, and that descriptions of her physical appearance and car are circulating online as well.

Detectives within the LAPD deemed the woman’s protection “very important,” with TMZ reporting that police may possibly relocate her into hiding.

As of Friday, it is still unclear whether the woman has accepted authorities’ offer of protective custody.

According to the outlet, the woman told the grand jury that she was “hanging out” with the rapper’s alleged shooter, Eric Holder, on March 31 when the two pulled into the strip mall where Nipsey Hussle’s clothing store was located.

The woman then said Holder told her to park behind the store and wait, but not before retrieving a semi-automatic handgun prior to exiting the vehicle.

That’s when authorities say Holder made his way through an alleyway to the storefront where he then allegedly shot at the rapper before fleeing back to the car. She also admitted to the grand jury of being in a romantic relationship with Holder.
