Eric Holder Jr., the man who fatally shot rapper Nipsey Hussle, was found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday. The verdict comes over three years after Hussle’s killing rocked the world of hip-hop and the city of Los Angeles.
The jury’s decision did not concern whether Holder was the killer, but rather if Holder’s act was premeditated — security footage captured Holder shooting Hussle multiple times before kicking him in the head, and his own defense attorney claimed that he was the assailant.
