Eric R. Holder Jr., the man who gunned down rapper Nipsey Hussle back in 2019 outside of his Marathon clothing store, was found guilty of first-degree murder.
Holder received 25 years to life on the murder count. He was also sentenced to another 25 years to life because a gun was used and another 10 years for shooting two other people that same day.
“It was always going to be tough given the high-profile circumstances surrounding the case,” Holder’s attorney Aaron Jansen told ABC News. “We are grateful that the jury agreed with us, in part, that the case was overcharged and voted to acquit Mr. Holder, Jr. of the two attempted murder charges.”
Hussle, legal name is Ermias Asghedom, grew up as members of the Rollin’ 60s in South LA. Sources says Holder was also an aspiring rapper but failed to gain success in the industry like Hussle did.
Fans celebrated the guilty verdict.
