The murder trial regarding the killing of Nipsey Hussle has begun in Los Angeles and prosecutors are laying out new details on the rapper’s death.
Eric Holder Jr. stood trial in Los Angeles on Wednesday for the murder of legendary West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle.
Deputy District Attorney John McKinney explained that after shooting Nipsey in a Crenshaw parking lot outside of his clothing store, Holder walked over and kicked him in the head, remarking verbally “You’re through.”
Officials claim that both Hussle and Holder were affiliated with the Rollin’ 60s gang in South Los Angeles.
L.A. County Deputy Public Defender Aaron Jansen has defended Holder by stating that his client may have struggled with mental health issues.
Holder is facing charges of one count of murder, one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, and two counts of attempted murder as two other people were injured during the shooting. He faces a life sentence if convicted but would eventually be eligible for parole.
