Nipsey Hussle, Eric R. Holder convicted of rappers murder

A 32-year-old man was found guilty of first-degree murder recently for shooting rapper Nipsey Hussle to death in 2019.

In addition, the jury in Los Angeles County found Eric R. Holder Jr. guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter rather than the two attempted murder charges that the prosecution sought for two other individuals who were shot at the site.

In the tiny courtroom, Holder, who was dressed in a blue suit and a face mask, stood up next to his attorney as the verdict was announced. He showed no signs of reaction.

Before reaching a decision, the jury deliberated for nearly six hours across two days.

A trial that was frequently postponed due to the pandemic and a legal saga that lasted more than three years come to a conclusion with the verdict.
