The woman who drove Nipsey Hussle‘s alleged murderer from the scene of the crime says the shooting was triggered by a dispute over snitching.
The woman — only identified in court docs as Witness 1 — says she and the accused, Eric Holder, were hanging out on March 31 when they went to The Marathon Clothing strip mall to get food. She says they pulled in and recognized Nipsey … she says she was excited to see him.
According to the docs, Holder went into the burger joint to get food and she then saw him walk over to Nipsey. Holder was speaking to Nipsey and his crew for several minutes while she waited to take a selfie with him.
Witness 1 says she overheard Holder ask Nipsey if he ever snitched. She says Nipsey waived Holder off, as if he didn’t want to speak with him, but not before accusing Holder of being a snitch. Holder left the conversation and got his food from the restaurant … then the 2 got into their car.
The woman says Holder then instructed her to drive around the corner from the mall, and then she saw him pull out a black, semi-automatic handgun. He pulled back the slide and then asked her to go around the block so he could do a drive by shooting. She says she refused.
She says Holder then got out of the car, put on a red shirt and instructed her not to move. He went through the alley, allegedly fired several shots at Nipsey and other and ran back to the car.
Witness 1 was not charged in connection with the murder.
