The prosecution stressed that this was a deliberate act that qualifies as first degree murder.
"He was a father, he was a son, he was a human being," said Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney John McKinney.Hussle was killed on March 31, 2019. Surveillance video shows Holder walking up to Hussle carrying two handguns and then started shooting shortly after.He said Holder was in a vehicle with another person and that person saw him with a weapon.
Hussle and Holder were both rappers, one successful, one unsuccessful, who grew up as members of the same South L.A. gang, the Rollin' 60s, McKinney said. "By 2019 he had completely put the Rollin' 60s in his rearview mirror," Jansen said."He was just living his life in Long Beach." "I submit to you that the motive for killing Nipsey Hussle had little or nothing to do with the conversation they had," McKinney said."There was already a preexisting jealousy or envy."
