Rapper Nipsey Hussle's Killer Convicted Of Murder by Hermzou: 8:41pm On Jul 06, 2022 |
The man who shot and killed Los Angeles
rapper Nipsey Hussle minutes after a brief
argument in 2019 has been found guilty of
murdering the rising artist.
Eric Holder, 32, was convicted by a jury in
California on Wednesday after six hours of
deliberations.
Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, was shot
outside his LA clothing store. The 33-year-old
had reportedly known the killer for several
years.
Following his death, tributes were paid from
across the music industry.
Holder was also found guilty of two counts of
attempted manslaughter as two other men
were shot in the incident. He could get life in
prison when he is sentenced in September.
He belonged to the same street gang as
Hussle and had previously admitted to killing
him. Witnesses say he left the scene after a
ten minute argument, in which Hussle warned
him of rumours that he was co-operating with
police, and returned with two handguns.
His defence team argued that he attacked him
in the "heat of passion" but the jury agreed
that the attack was premeditated.
At the 2019 BET Awards, Hussle was
posthumously given the Best Male Hip Hop
Artist and Humanitarian Awards.
Over 20,000 people attended a celebration of
his life, with former US President Barack
Obama praising him for leaving "a legacy
worth of celebration".
Hussle, a former gang member in Los
Angeles, had become a community organiser
and used the money he made from music to
fund improvements to his neighbourhood.
After his death he was praised as a "West
Coast hero" by members of the city council,
who unanimously voted to re-name an
intersection "Nipsey Hussle Square" in his
south LA neighbourhood.
Bryannita Nicholson, a woman who was in a
casual relationship with Holder and unwittingly
drove him to and from the murder scene,
testified in court during the trial that she saw
Holder load a gun before the shooting.
She said that they spotted the rapper on the
street outside his Marathon clothing store
while they were picking up a food order.
Holder rushed over and she said she heard
him loudly tell the rapper: "Did you say I
snitched?".
Ms Nicholson added that she posed for a
photo with Hussle while Holder went to collect
the food. The witness, who came forward to
police leading to Holder's arrest, said that she
saw Holder eat some food before he left her
car to kill Hussle.
Last week, Holder was attacked in jail by
"multiple individuals" his public defender told
CBS News, the BBC's partner in the US. He
was reportedly cut with a razor, and taken to
hospital where he had a wound to his head
closed with staples. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62072376 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Ethiopians stopped claiming their own Nipsey Hussle after he was killed but we’re fine with him being a gang member when he was alive. Gang members never live long. |
