Suge Knight Charged With Murder, Attempted Murder
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office just announced that Death Row founder Suge Knight has been charged with murder and attempted murder for allegedly running over two men in a Compton parking lot last week. Earlier today, Knight's $2.2 million bail was revoked after he was deemed a possible flight risk.
From the L.A. County District Attorney's office:
Following an altercation on Thursday outside a Compton restaurant, Knight allegedly was driving his truck when he ran over two men standing in the parking lot. One man was injured and the second man, Terry Carter, 55, died. The driver of the pickup fled the scene.
Knight, who was out on bail in a separate robbery case, is charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that he committed a serious and violent felony while out on bail in another pending case.
The complaint includes use of a deadly weapon and causing great bodily injury allegations and that Knight has prior convictions, making this a third strike case.
If convicted, Knight faces life in prison.
