Eric Holder has been sentenced to 60 years to life in prison for the 2019 murder of Nipsey Hussle.

According to NBC News, Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke sentenced Holder on Wednesday, Feb. 22, after hearing from one of Hussle’s friends and listening to a letter from Holder’s father.

In July 2022, a Los Angeles County jury found Eric Holder Jr. guilty of first-degree murder, in the death of rapper and activist, Nipsey Hussle.

According to CBSLA, Holder was not only convicted in the death of the 33-year-old rapper, born Ermias Asghedom but he was also convicted of two counts each of attempted voluntary manslaughter (versus two counts of attempted murder) and assault with a firearm after injuring two others who were present during the March 31 shooting, outside of Asghedom’s The Marathon Clothing store.
