The sentence was handed down to Eric Holder on Wednesday in Los Angeles by the responsible judge after a jury found the 32-year-old guilty in July last year. The jury found that Holder deliberately shot his victim in the street in 2019.
The sentence now imposed consists of several separate sentences: 25 years in prison for murder and another 25 years because the crime was committed with firearms. In addition, according to the judge’s verdict, there is another ten years in prison because two men near Hussle suffered red-handed gunshot wounds.

At trial, the defendant did not deny the crime, but his lawyers argued that he acted with emotion and not on purpose. The prosecution described the course of events differently: according to this report, the perpetrator would return ten minutes after an argument with the rapper with weapons in both hands and then shoot Hussle.
The 33-year-old rapper was hit by at least ten bullets and collapsed in front of the fashion store he opened in his south Los Angeles neighborhood.
Hussle, real name Ermias Asghedom, came from a gang-infested Los Angeles neighborhood. The rapper started his music career in the underground hip-hop scene. For a long time he had little commercial success, but his first studio-produced album “Victory Lap” earned Hussle a nomination for a Grammy as best rap album. (sda/afp)
