Nearly four years after the fatal 2019 shooting of Nipsey Hussle, Eric Holder Jr. has been sentenced to at least 60 years in prison after he was found guilty of first-degree murder, per the Los Angeles Times.
Holder Jr.'s unanimous verdict was previously announced in a Los Angeles County courtroom on July 6, 2022, and on Feb. 22, the outlet reported that Judge H.

Eric R. Holder Jr. has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2019 killing of rapper Nipsey Hussle.
A Los Angeles County jury today also convicted the 32-year-old Holder on two counts each of attempted voluntary manslaughter and assault with a firearm involving two other people who were injured in the March 31, 2019, shooting. Holder also was found guilty on one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Holder had admitted gunning down Hussle in front of the musician’s South Los Angeles clothing store but maintains the killing was an impulsive act committed in the “heat of passion,” as his attorney Aaron Jansen argued during the trial.
Deputy District Attorney John McKinney countered that the killing was “cold- blooded” and “calculated.”
“He’s not consumed by rage,” the prosecutor said, calling the defense’s argument “nonsense.”

Nipsey Hussle was brutally murdered outside his Los Angeles clothing store three years ago because his admitted killer, Eric Ronald Holder Jr., harbored bitter resentment over the beloved rapper’s success, a prosecutor told jurors in his closing argument Thursday.
The prosecutor said Holder, 32, was from the same neighborhood as Hussle, had been part of the same Rollin’ 60s street gang that both men joined in their youth, and was motivated by profound envy — not a “snitching” allegation — when he left an initial parking lot conversation with Hussle, drove around the block,...

One of the two men injured when Nipsey Hussle was brutally executed in a South Los Angeles parking lot three years ago testified Monday that once the hail of gunfire ended, he heard what likely were the celebrated rapper’s last words.
“He shot me. He shot me,” Hussle said as he lay bleeding on the ground outside his Marathon clothing store after the shooter fled the scene, witness Shermi Villanueva, 47, told jurors.
