Man who killed Nipsey Hussle slashed with razor by inmates on his way to court

Defendant Eric Holder listens to opening statements as he stands trial in the murder of Nipsey Hussle in Los Angeles. The man who has admitted to killing rapper Nipsey Hussle in 2019 was attacked by two L.A. County jail inmates and slashed with a razor on his way to court this week, briefly delaying the trial, his attorney said. Eric Holder Jr., 33, lost consciousness and needed three staples to close a wound in the back of his head after he was jumped in a holding cell while waiting to be taken to court Tuesday morning, according to his attorney, Aaron Jansen. When jurors arrived in court Tuesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke told them proceedings had been suspended due to an “unforeseen medical” incident involving Holder.
