Eric Holder Jr, murderer of rapper Nipsey Hussle, was convicted and sentenced to 60 years to life in prison.

At the time of his murder, Hussle was a revered figure in the rap industry and community. He was a father of two (Emani, 13, and Cross, 6) and founder of the All Money In record label. He argued that the shooting happened as a reaction to the heated argument the two had. Evidence presented included a statement from Bryannita Nicholson, who was on a date with Holder and in the car when he went to confront Hussle. He implied the attack was because of his connection to the murder of such a public figure. Clay Jacke II sentenced Holder to 25 years to life for murdering the rapper and an additional 25 years to life based on a sentencing enhancement because he used a gun. The two exchanged words, and Holder left, only to return with two loaded guns. However, due to the overwhelming evidence presented against him, his sentence guaranteed he would be behind bars for the rest of his life. According to the [NY Post](https://nypost.com/2023/02/22/nipsey-hussles-murderer-sentenced-to-60-years-to-life/), she testified she saw Holder load a semi-automatic weapon with bullets while he was in her car.
