Update: Suge Knight’s lawyer spoke briefly with the media had the following to say:
Former rap mogul Suge Knight is involved with a hit and run incident, which happened during a film project in Compton, CA. Multiple witnesses state that during a movie shoot, that involves Ice Cube and Dr. Dre was happening when Suge pulled up in his car, when he was told to leave by security is when the trouble began. A fight had broken out between him and two other men, Suge allegedly got back into his car, then put the vehicle into reverse and ran over a man who later died from his injuries.
The victim, Terry Carter is a friend of Suge’s (who arrived with him) and was in the process of walking to the passenger door of Suge’s vehicle, but ended up behind the rear when he hit the gas in reverse. The two other victims, including Cle “Bone” Sloane, who has appeared in movies like “Training Day” and “End of Watch” are suffering non-life threatening injuries.
TMZ is reporting the following:
A close family member of Terry Carter — who did not want to be ID’d — tells TMZ, she went to the scene almost immediately after the incident and multiple witnesses made it clear … Suge made Terry a sacrificial lamb.
She was told the story we broke … that Suge was an unwelcome visitor to the set of a commercial for “Straight Outta Compton.” Both witnesses and detectives told her Suge and Cle “Bone” Sloan got in a physical fight while Suge was sitting in the driver’s seat. Suge gunned it and struck Bone.
This is where the relative says it’s murder. Bone was laying injured behind the truck and Terry ran over to pull him to safety. The relative tells TMZ Suge KNEW Terry was there but was so determined to kill Bone he just didn’t care, and gunned it in reverse, rolling over Terry’s head.
We asked her if she could accept Suge’s explanation that it was an accident, and she said flatly, “Hell no. It was murder.”
This morning around 3am, Suge turned himself in for questioning at the police station however after cops concluded their interview he was formally charged with murder.
