The candlelight vigil will be held from 6-9 tonight on the campus’ lawn, 643 MLK Jr. Drive SW Atlanta.

“All fans of this fallen soldier welcome,” read a flyer circulating on social media.

The rapper, entrepreneur and community organizer, born Ermias Asghedom, was fatally shot outside his clothing shop, Marathon Clothing Company, in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

The 33-year-old was among three people shot in the Hyde Park neighborhood. The other two victims survived their wounds.

Several locals have expressed their sympathy on social media over the last two days.

The Los Angeles Police Department tweeted late Monday that Eric Holder, 29, of Los Angeles, is wanted in the killing.
