A judge confirmed that a trial is set to begin June 2 for the man charged with murdering Nipsey Hussle outside the rapper's clothing store in Hyde Park.
SOUTH LOS ANGELES -- A judge confirmed Thursday that a trial is set to begin June 2 for the man charged with murdering Nipsey Hussle outside the rapper's clothing store in the Hyde Park area of Los Angeles just over three years ago.
Eric Holder Jr., now 32, was indicted in May of 2019 on one count each of murder and possession of a firearm by a felon and two counts each of attempted murder and assault with a firearm. Deputy District Attorney John McKinney told the grand jury that Holder used two guns on March 31, 2019, to fire multiple shots shortly after a conversation that included allegations of snitching.''
The prosecutor told the grand jury that the defendant walked up to a group including Hussle -- whose real name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom -- and the ensuing discussion"had something to do with Mr. Asghedom accusing Mr. Holder of snitching, which, in the gang world, is a very serious offense.'' "Apparently the conversation had something to do with Mr. Asghedom telling Mr. Holder that word on the street was that Mr. Holder was snitching. The conversation wasn't particularly intense, it wasn't particularly belligerent, and it lasted for about four minutes," the prosecutor told the grand jury, while noting later that the conversation was"enough that it moved Eric Holder to a point of wanting to return to the parking lot and kill Nipsey Hussle.
