Rap music mogul, Marion Knight, better known as Suge Knight, has been alleged of deliberately running his vehicle over a man and killing him. The star also hurt another man at the time, and then ran away from the scene. The incident occurred at the film set for “Straight Otta Compton.” Knight is said to have entered into a fight that day before the event happened.
According to witnesses, on Thursday, Knight entered the sets of the film in his truck and somehow got into a fight during the shoot. The fight involved Knight and two unidentified people. At around 3 p.m., Knight is said to have followed the two men to Tam’s Burgers across the street in Compton. Cops believe that the trio entered into a verbal fight at the food-joint. Soon, witnesses saw that the red truck, which Knight had driven to Tam’s Burgers, backed and ran over one of the two unidentified men. People also said that the red truck attempted to do the same even for a second time. They further informed that the second man was also hit by the truck.
According to Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Lt. John Corina, Knight later dumped his red truck and fled the scene. The vehicle was Ford F-150 Raptor. The police also informed that the description given by witnesses suggests that the driver of the truck at the time of the act was Suge Knight. Since witnesses claimed that the run over was intentional, and it resulted in the death of one of the victims, police have filed it as a murder case. They are now probing the matter further.
Although the police denied sharing names of the victims, it is speculated that the deceased one was Terry Carter. He was formerly associated with Ice Cube, who was also present on the set that day. Another of Knight’s rival, Dr. Dre, was also seen on the set that day.
