Getaway Driver In Nipsey Hussle Case Offered Immunity, Reveals New Details

The woman who drove Nipsey Hussle's alleged killer from the scene of the crime has been granted immunity and offered police protection.

Witness one, as she's identified in court documents obtained by TMZ, testified under an immunity agreement — which means nothing she said during her testimony can be used against her in future prosecution — that includes police protection. According to TMZ, she is terrified she'll be the victim of a retaliation hit and as a key witness, the Los Angeles Police Department is going all out to protect her. (To note: the woman has not been charged in connection with the Nipsey's murder).

An LAPD detective told the site the female getaway driver expressed grave concern for her safety on multiple occasions. The detective said he investigated her claims and discovered a number of legitimate threats made against her. Not to mention, "the detective told the grand jury her license plate was making the rounds on social media shortly after the shooting. Descriptions of her physical appearance and her vehicle were also on the Internet, all of which essentially gave vigilantes a road map to find her." During the grand jury hearing, the detective said the LAPD decided it was "very important" to place "the woman under their protection and possibly move her into hiding." It's unclear where she is now, or if she accepted the offer for protective custody, TMZ reports.

The grand jury hearing also heard the testimony of the woman. She reportedly revealed new details about the case, telling the jury 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 said they pulled in and recognized Nipsey, which she said was exciting for her. 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 claims she saw Nipsey wave off Holder, as if he didn't want to speak with him but not before accusing Holder of being a snitch," TMZ reports.

She also claimed "to have overheard Holder ask Nipsey if he ever snitched. She says Holder left the conversation and got his food from the restaurant then they both got into the 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."

The woman added, Eric "got out of the car, put on a red shirt and instructed her not to move." He then "went through the alley, allegedly fired several shots at Nipsey and others and ran back to the car."
