Witness says ‘snitching’ talk preceded Nipsey Hussle killing
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — Court transcripts unsealed Thursday show that Nipsey Hussle and the man charged with killing him talked about “snitching” shortly before the rapper was shot, a conversation prosecutors said was the motive for the shooting. In the grand jury transcripts, which provide the first glimpse of prosecutors’ case against Eric R. Holder, Hussle’s friend Herman Douglas testified about a conversation he overheard between the rapper and Holder. “You need to address it,” Douglas remembers Hussle saying in a conversation outside The Marathon, the rapper’s South Los Angeles clothing store where he was shot minutes later. The woman who drove Holder to and from the scene also testified she heard the men talk about “snitching,” though she thought it was Holder warning Hussle on the topic. She brought him to her mother’s house to spend the night, but testified that she didn’t bring up Hussle’s killing because “I didn’t want him to try to threaten me again or say anything to me about it.” She said the following day, Holder told her he didn’t want to go home because it was “dirty” and she helped him get a room at a Motel 6.
