The Assassination of Nipsey Hussle in South LA

The Assassination of Nipsey Hussle in South LAIn March 2019, rapper and community leader Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed outside his Marathon Clothing store at the intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson in South Los Angeles. The murder investigation revealed that Eric Holder Jr., a fellow Rollin' 60s Crips member, fired over ten shots at Hussle following a brief conversation about street rumors. The homicide trial of Eric Holder Jr. resulted in a first-degree murder conviction and a sentence of 60 years to life in prison.So here's what makes this case absolutely devastating. Nipsey wasn't killed by a rival gang or some random street violence. He was murdered by someone from his own set, someone he'd known for years, right in front of the store he built to save his neighborhood. This is the story of two men who came from the exact same streets, grew up in the same gang, but took completely different paths. One became a visionary who met with LAPD to discuss peace. The other struggled with untreated schizophrenia and got stuck in a cycle he couldn't escape. What happened in that parking lot on March 31st wasn't some elaborate conspiracy. It was something way more tragic and way more preventable.#NipseyHussle #TrueCrime #LosAngelesMurder #EricHolderJr #MarathonClothing #Crenshaw #GangViolence🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
