A Sacramento County jury has delivered a guilty verdict in the case of the 2020 murder of Christopher Treadwell, the local rapper known as Bris whose rise in the music world was abruptly cut short. The accused, Moses Hirschfield, now faces a sentence of 50 years to life in prison following his conviction on charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, as reported by FOX40.

Treadwell encountered Hirschfield at an AM/PM convenience store in Sacramento in the early hours of June 21, 2020, where after noticing Hirschfield, Treadwell swiftly left the premises and got in his vehicle leading to a high-speed pursuit that the District Attorney's office described as reaching 113 miles per hour, Treadwell eventually lost control of his car and fled on foot until Hirschfield caught up with him at a fast-food drive-thru and shot him in the back of the head, says the District Attorney's office according to FOX40.

The rap artist from Elk Grove, known to his fans as Bris, had carved a space for himself within the dense fabric of the Northern California hip-hop scene.

The verdict came after a legal process that has spanned over four years, the weight of the conviction is felt across the local and broader hip-hop communities who have been mourning the loss since Treadwell's departure in2020, a sentencing hearing has been set for August 29 where Hirschfield will learn his fate as announced by CBS Sacramento in their coverage of the case, found at CBS News.
