Popular
rap executive, Suge Knight has been arrested on suspicion of murder on Thursday
, in which he allegedly ran over two people on the Straight Outta Compton set,
killing one.
The
Los Angles Times reports that he has been held on a $2 million bail. He turned
himself into authorities early Friday after police dubbed him a person of
interest in a “vehicle versus pedestrian” incident in Compton, Calif. during a
shoot for the upcoming Universal movie Straight Outta Compton, documenting the
rap group N.W.A.
According
to his lawyer to newsmen, “Knight was officially arrested after the interview
with detectives wrapped up at around 3:30 a.m.
“I
am positive Mr. Knight will be exonerated by Tuesday,” Knight’s lawyer Blatt
told the paper. He said that Knight was being attacked by a group and
accidentally ran the two men over while he tried to escape.
Authorities
said Knight got into an argument with two men on the set Thursday at 3 p.m. PT.
About 20 minutes later, the two men were in the parking lot of a Tam’s Burgers
(near the intersection of Rosecrans and Central avenues) when the 49-year-old
rap executive is believed to have ran them over in his red Ford F-150 Raptor.
Knight
struck the men in his truck, then backed over their bodies, before fleeing the
parking lot, eyewitness told police. Terry Carter, 55, died at the scene, while
another 51-year-old man was injured in the attack, according to online reports.
