Nipsey Hussle’s case is being pushed back again. 

The man allegedly responsible for Nipsey’s death, Eric Holder, recently appeared in court and got an update for the murder trial. Judge Robert J. Perry told Holder that due to the coronavirus, there’s delays with the court system. Perry said,

“Mr. Holder, I don’t know what to tell you except that the court system and this county are plagued by a sickness that we call the COVID virus, and the court system has been very much impacted.”

A new date was set for January 2021 according to The Jasmine Brand

The “Hussle And Motivate” rapper was gunned down on March 31, 2019. Prosecutors say Holder shot Hussle in the head and torso outside Nip’s Marathon Clothing store in California. 

Eric was indicted by a grand jury on May 9, 2019, on one count of murder, two counts each of attempted murder and assault with a firearm, and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. His trial date was set for March but was pushed back due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the stay at home order at the time.
