Nipsey Hussle was shot 11 times on the day he was murdered outside of his clothes store near the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard in South Los Angeles, according to the official autopsy report.
Hussle (actual name: Ermias Asghedom) received head and chest wounds. RadarOnline.com can also reveal that his death was declared a "homicide."
The cause of death was judged to be numerous gunshot wounds to the victim's body.
His death was categorized as "rapid" by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, indicating that he died shortly after being fatally shot in March 2019. Hussle was only 33 years old.
This month, Hussle's convicted killer anticipated learning his destiny behind prison. The sentencing date for Eric Holder Jr., who was found guilty of first-degree murder in July, has been postponed until November 3. Holder and Hussle, who were both members of the Rollin 60s gang, reportedly engaged in a brief confrontation prior to the murder.
Holder's attorney, Aaron Jansen, aimed for a lesser charge of manslaughter instead of murder, alleging that Hussle had told Holder that he had "paperwork" on him.
He maintained that the snitching insinuation prompted Holder to take action, but the jury disagreed and convicted him of murder. "I am deeply disappointed in the first-degree murder verdict," Jansen said after the news broke. "It was always going to be a tough given the high-profile circumstances surrounding the case. We are grateful that the jury agreed with us, in part, that the case was overcharged and acquitted Mr. Holder, Jr. of the two attempted murder charges."
Hussle was survived by his two children, daughter Emani from a prior relationship and son Kross from his relationship with actress Lauren London. This summer, the Victory Lap rapper was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The accused, Holder, 32, faces between 25 and life in jail.
In addition, he was found guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter, resulting from the two bystanders who were injured in the shooting. These were lower charges than the attempted murder counts that prosecutors had presented.
Mr. Jansen contended that the case was exaggerated and that his client did not intend to injure the other two men, who were both strangers, when he attacked Hussle. Mr. Holder was also found guilty of felon-in-possession of a firearm and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
