While reports are emerging, XXL claims Holder has multiple convictions related to the March 2019 slaying.
On Wednesday (July 6), following a two-week trial, the jury returned with a verdict of guilty on one count of first-degree murder, according to Los Angeles Times court reporter James Queally. He was also convicted of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and assault with a firearm for shooting two bystanders. Holder originally faced attempted murder for injuring the bystanders.
Holder shot and killed Nipsey Hussle and wounded two bystanders on March 31, 2019, in the parking lot of the Victory Lap rapper's The Marathon Clothing store in South Los Angeles. According to witness testimony, the shooting was triggered by Holder asking Nipsey if the rapper told people Holder snitched.
