Eric Ronald Holder Jr., the murder suspect in the death of Late American rapper, Nipsey Hussle was physically assaulted in custody.
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.
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.
RS reported that it wasn’t clear where or what exactly happened.
However, Holder’s high-profile case meant he should have been kept away from other inmates during his transportation to and from the Los Angeles court.
A source told RS that he required medical attention and suffered more than a black eye.
“Based on some unforeseen circumstances that are no fault of parties here, we won’t be in session today,” Judge Clay Jackie said.
He added that jurors should plan to return on Wednesday (June 29) unless noted otherwise.
