Nipsey Hussle’s Alleged Killer Faces Life In Prison As Indicted By Grand Jury On Murder Charges

Alleged killer of late rapper, Nipsey Hussle, Eric Holder has been indicted by a grand jury on murder charges. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced the arraignment this week, explaining Holder was indicted on May 9, 2019 on one count of murder, two counts each of attempted murder and assault with a firearm and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.

“The indictment, which was unsealed today, also includes allegations that Holder personally used a handgun and caused great bodily injury and death,” the news release read.

On April 8, Holder was charged but the indictment will allow the case to skip a preliminary hearing and head straight to trial. If convicted, Holder could face a maximum sentence of life in state prison.

Holder had pleaded not guilty to the charges in court on Tuesday. He is scheduled to return for a pretrial hearing on June 18.

It would be recalled that Nipsey Hussle was fatally gunned down outside his Los Angeles clothing store, Marathon Clothing Company on Sunday, March 31, 2019.  He was 33. Two other men were also shot, though they survived their injuries.
