Eric Holder Jr. sentenced to 60 years to life in prison for Nipsey Hussle murder

Nearly four years after Nipsey Hussle was killed during a shooting outside his Los Angeles clothing store, Eric Holder Jr. was sentenced on Feb. 22 to 60 years to life in prison for Hussle's murder, per NBC News.

Back in July, Holder was found guilty of first-degree murder for killing Hussle, 33, in 2019. At the time, Holder was also convicted of two charges of attempted voluntary manslaughter and one count of possession of a firearm.

Prior to receiving this verdict, Holder was charged with one count of first-degree murder, along with two counts of attempted first-degree murder for two other people who were injured in the shooting. The jury found him guilty of lesser charges in connection with the surviving victims, landing instead on two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter.

In response to the jury's July decision, Holder's attorney Aaron Jansen noted both dissatisfaction and gratitude toward the outcome.

"I am deeply disappointment in the first-degree murder verdict," Jansen said in a statement at the time. "It was always going to be a tough given the high profile circumstances surrounding the case. We are grateful that the jury agreed with us, in part, that the case was overcharged and acquitted Mr. Holder, Jr. of the two attempted murder charges."
