On July 6, the jury deliberated for about six hours before reaching its verdict. 32-year-old Holder had also been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder because two bystanders were hit by gunfire, but according to The Associated Press, the jury found him guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter instead.
During the trial, prosecutors alleged that Holder’s shooting was planned out in advance. Holder’s getaway driver, Bryannita Nicholson, also testified and detailed the events that happened before and after the shooting.
Deputy District Attorney John McKinney said there was “no doubt” Holder knew he’d kill Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, adding he shot the rapper at least 10 times and kicked him in the head before running away.
