The man responsible for shooting and killing rapper, Nipsey Hussle has been sentenced to sixty years to life in prison.
Eric Holder Jr. received twenty-five years to life on the murder count which took place in March 2019, an additional twenty-five years to life for a sentencing enhancement due to a gun being used, and another ten years for shooting two other men that same day who ultimately survived the shooting.
Holder’s sentencing hearing had been postponed several times, including most recently on November 3.
The sentencing has been delayed in part so defense attorney Aaron Jansen could argue to reduce Holder’s conviction to manslaughter or second-degree murder, which the judge rejected in December.
Dressed in orange jail attire, Eric Holder Jr. stared emotionless throughout the proceedings and did not react when the sentence was read.
Nipsey Hussle, who was born Ermias Asghedom, had grown up with Holder, and both were members of the same gang, the Rollin’ 60s. Both had aspirations of becoming rappers, however only Hussle would go on to become a local hero and a national celebrity.
Prosecutors also argued that Holder was upset over accusations that he was a snitch and that it was premeditated when he approached Hussle outside his shop, The Marathon, and opened fire.
According to Deputy District Attorney, John McKinney, Nipsey Hussle was struck at least ten times. Afterward, Eric Holder Jr. kicked him in the head and fled the scene of the shooting.
Just so you know, actor Lauren London, who was Nipsey Hussle’s partner and the mother of his two young children, did not attend any part of the trial, nor did any of his family
