The man who murdered Nipsey Hussle in a daylight ambush outside the beloved rapper’s clothing store in Los Angeles was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison.
“He was a father, he was a son, he was a brother, he was a human being,” the prosecutor said, showing jurors a photo of Hussle crouching down to take a photo with a young child just moments before his death.
Shortly after the trial started June 15, Jansen conceded his client fired the 10 or 11 bullets that struck Hussle from the top of his head down to his feet, ripping through his liver and lungs and severing his spine. But the lawyer was adamant Holder Jr. acted in the heat of passion after Hussle allegedly mentioned he heard about some “paperwork” related to Holder. In gang parlance, “paperwork” means documentation showing someone is cooperating with law enforcement.
Holder Jr., like Hussle, joined the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips as a teen, but by 2019, he had moved to Long Beach, started working at a restaurant, and put his gang membership “in the rearview mirror,” Jansen told jurors. When Holder Jr. happened upon Hussle the day of the shooting, it was a chance encounter, the lawyer said.
“Think about Eric’s state of mind at this point. ‘I just came over to say hello, haven’t been around for a while. I’m just waiting for [a food] order to be ready. I’m not involved in that lifestyle anymore. And the famous — the great — Nipsey Hussle is saying that they have paperwork on me,'” Jansen said, arguing that the “provocation” triggered “rage and powerful emotions” in his client that ran out of control.
