Eric Holder Jr. was found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday in the death of rapper Nipsey Hussle.
Holder, 32, faces up to life in prison after he gunned down the 33-year-old rapper outside his clothing store in Los Angeles on March 31, 2019, according to The New York Times.
The Times reported that the verdict came after deliberating for less than an hour on its second day.
Hussle, whose legal name was Ermias Davidson, was outside his Marathon Clothing Company store talking to people when Holder approached and began firing, killing Hussle and injuring two others.
In addition to murder, Holder was convicted of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and two counts of assault with a firearm. He was also found guilty of one count of possession of a firearm by a felon in connection to the 2019 shooting, according to local station KTTV.
Hussle was a Grammy-nominated musician, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. Rolling Stone described the Los Angeles native as “a fierce proponent of entrepreneurship.
