Police Have Video Footage Of The Suge Knight Hit-And-Run Incident

Police might be closer to finding out exactly what happened in the recent fatal hit-and-run incident involving Death Row Records founder Suge Knight. It is being reported that authorities have obtained video footage of the fateful event which took the life of 55-year-old Terry Carter. TMZ has confirmed with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department that they have procured video which might help answer question about the conflicting reports. However, they will not speak on what exactly is on the footage. Homicide detectives are currently analyzing the tape for clues.

As previously reported, Marion "Suge" Knight killed a man, and struck another, with his vehicle on the scene of a promotional shoot for the upcoming N.W.A. documentary Straight Outta Compton, though reports conflict as to whether it was intentional or not. Knight claims he came to the location at the request of Dr. Dre who allegedly wanted to end their long-standing beef. Shortly after he arrived a fight broke out between Suge and two staff members. Fearing for his life, Suge claims he jumped in his car sped away hitting actor Cle “Bone” Sloan (whom he was allegedly tussling with) and Harris in his haste.

However, other accounts of the situation have Suge purposefully running over the two men. He turned himself in to the West Hollywood police station hours after the incident and was levied a $2 million bail. Knight is currently facing murder charges but his lawyer James Blatt recently told reporters the charge could be dropped as early as next week if prosecutors believe Knight's account of the situation.
