LOS ANGELES — There's no question who killed Nipsey Hussle.
Videos of the shooting captured Eric Holder Jr. gunning down the beloved L.A. rapper outside his clothing store in Crenshaw in March 2019. And at the start of Holder's trial earlier this month, his attorney affirmed for jurors the 33-year-old gang member had killed Hussle and injured two other men.
Instead of Holder's guilt or innocence, when jurors begin deliberations Friday they will decide something far less concrete: Whether Holder should be shown some leniency because a conversation he had with Hussle shortly before the shooting left him unable to control his emotions.
