There are only nine miles between the Crenshaw parking lot where Nipsey Hussle was shot to death in 2019 and the downtown Los Angeles courtroom where his alleged killer will stand trial this month. But to some, the two places might as well be worlds apart.
To some, the disconnect between the trial of Hussle’s alleged killer and the neighborhoods most affected by his death speaks to a broader chasm between South L.A. and the rest of the city.“This is part of our relationship and critique of the criminal justice system. I want a criminal justice system that gets there before it happens... so Nipsey would still be with us and the Marathon store would still be open and would have blossomed in the way that it should have,” said L.A.
Among that crowd of fans was Holder, himself an aspiring rapper and also a member of the Rolling 60s Crips, the gang set that Hussle was never shy about acknowledging his membership in. McKinney said the conversation drove Holder “to a point of wanting to return to the parking lot and kill Nipsey Hussle,” court records show.
McKinney said he expects to call about 15 witnesses at trial, though tracking some of them down has proved to be a “challenge.”
