Eric Holder Jr., the alleged killer of Nipsey Hussle has been spotted with a black eye.
Recall that in 2019, the 32-year-old Rollin 60s gang member was arrested for allegedly shooting Nip outside of his clothing store The Marathon.
Holder was captured on camera shooting Hussle after apparently falling into a rage over snitching allegations made by the rapper. He also shot two bystanders who survived.
After several delays, the murder trial started on Wednesday (June 15), over three years after Nipsey Hussle’s death.
He was charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
On Tuesday, June 28, 2022, the suspect was supposed to attend a trial.
However, he was beaten so badly on Monday afternoon, after he left the Los Angeles courtroom and this led to the court session being postponed.
According to sources who spoke with Rolling Stone, the suspect was seriously injured.
On Friday (July 1), a photo of Holder in court looking badly beaten surfaced.
In the photo, both of Holder’s eyes appear swollen as well as his jaw. He also looks to have bruises on his face.
“Mr. Holder, Jr. was assaulted by multiple individuals while he was in the holding cell at the jail while waiting to be brought to court yesterday morning,” the statement from Holder’s attorney reads.
“The attack included a razor and the back of his head was cut. He was taken to the hospital and received an MRI and staples in the back of his head. He arrived in court yesterday afternoon and the case was scheduled to resume with witnesses today.”
Jansen has conceded Holder is guilty of killing Nipsey. He is fighting to get the murder charges dropped to involuntary manslaughter, citing that he believes the crime happened in a fit of passion and was not premeditated.
