A Los Angeles prosecutor on Wednesday told jurors that a conversation between Hussle and fellow gang member Eric R. Holder, was a catalyst in the rappers shooting. AP reported that the prosecutor told jurors that pre-mediated the rapper\u2019s 2019 killing after a short conversation between the two men regarding accusations of \u201csnitching.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highly-publicized trial kicked off this week with opening arguments on Wednesday following nearly two weeks of jury selection and a pandemic-related delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holder, 32, faces one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder in the shooting that left Hussle dead and two other men injured. Holder faces possible life in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy District Attorney John McKinney used his opening statement on Wednesday to describe the sequence of events that led to Hussle\u2019s May 2019 death outside his clothing store in South Los Angeles, according to news reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hussle, a South LA native who was born Ermias Asghedom, was using his notoriety to help revitalize his community at the time of his death. Prosecutors said Hussle and Holder grew up in the same neighborhood and knew each other from both being members of the same gang, the Rollin\u2019 60s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McKinney told jurors that prior to the shooting, the two men had a brief, chance conversation in which Hussle told Holder there were rumors that the latter was a \u201csnitch\u201d and he should \u201cclear that up,\u201d according to The AP. The district attorney described the short discussion as a \u201ccool conversation\u201d in which Hussle told Holder that he\u2019d heard Holder was talking to police about members of the Rollin\u2019 60s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The allegation, McKinney said, \u201cmoved Eric Holder to a point of wanting to return to the parking lot and kill Nipsey Hussle,\u201d according to The AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minutes later, Holder returned to the same parking lot with two guns and fired multiple shots at Hussle, prosecutors allege. The rapper was hit 11 times and two other men were also struck, according to officials. Police arrested Holder two days later following a manhunt and a grand jury indicted Holder two months after his capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
