One of the biggest stories of 2019 was the tragic shooting of Nipsey Hussle on March 31, 2019. Nipsey was outside his store, Marathon Clothing, in Los Angeles, when he and two other people were shot. The two other victims wound up being okay, but Nipsey was tragically prounounced dead upon arriving to the hospital. He was just 33 years old. In the days following his death, a man named Eric Holder was arrested and charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
