The long-awaited Nipsey Hussle murder trial is ramping up to begin.
More than three years after Nipsey Hussle was viciously gunned down in front of his Los Angeles Marathon clothing store, opening arguments in the Nipsey Hussle murder trial are set to begin on Wednesday (June.15), KTTV reports.
A jury was selected on Monday (June.13) to hear the case against Hussle’s alleged killer Eric Ronald Holder Jr., and six alternate jurors were chosen on Tuesday.
According to the police report, Holder (32) allegedly gunned down Hussle, born Ermias Joseph Asghedom, on March 31, 2019, after a heated argument.
Hussle allegedly called Holder, a fellow member of the Rollin’ 60s Crips, a “snitch,” which is considered “in the gang world, is a very serious offense,” Deputy District Attorney John McKinney told a Grand Jury in 2019.
“The conversation wasn’t particularly intense, it wasn’t particularly belligerent, and it lasted for about four minutes,” McKinney added.
