LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday sentenced the man convicted of gunning down Nipsey Hussle to 60 years to life in prison.
Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke II handed down the sentence to Eric R. Holder Jr., 33, who was found guilty of the 2019 first-degree murder of the 33-year-old Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist outside the clothing store Hussle founded, the Marathon, in the South Los Angeles neighborhood where both men grew up.
After the monthlong trial, jurors in July also convicted Holder of 2 counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter & 2 counts of assault with a firearm for gunfire that hit 2 other men at the scene who survived.
Jacke sentenced Holder to 25 years to life for the murder, 25 more for a firearm sentencing enhancement & 10 for assault with a firearm. He set several other sentencing additions and ordered that others run concurrent. He also gave Holder credit for the nearly 4 years he has served since the shooting.
Hussle, whose legal name is Ermias Asghedom & Holder had known each other for years growing up as members of the Rollin’ 60s in South LA.
The evidence against Holder was so overwhelming — from eyewitnesses to surveillance cameras from local businesses that captured his arrival, the shooting & his departure — that his attorney conceded during trial that he had shot Hussle.
