On Thursday, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office indicted 29-year-old Eric Ronald Holder Jr. for murdering Nipsey Hussle, born on March 31, as Ermias Asghedom. He is also accused of injuring two other men during the incident of a store that the rapper, entrepreneur, and philanthropist owned in the Crenshaw neighborhood of South LA

The formal charges consist of one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a criminal. (The incumbent was convicted of a crime in 2012, while he was not disputing possession of a loaded firearm.)

The licensee pleaded not guilty and was sentenced to $ 5 million. After a widely distributed Hunt for the man he was arrested Tuesday in the city of Bellflower, in Los Angeles County. At a press conference held earlier in the day, Michel Moore, LAPD chief, said the police felt that there was some kind of dispute between the two men. According to video evidence and witness statements, Holder reportedly spoke to the rapper, then left, and then back with a firearm.

Holder is represented by Christopher Darden, who became prosecutor of the judiciary in the O.J. Simpson Trial case in the mid-1990s.

Nipsey Hussle, who won a Grammy nomination in 2018 for her first appearance at a major, Victory tower, was 33 years old at the time of the shooting.

The incumbent was sentenced to return to court on May 10.
