Suge Knight Charged With Vehicular Homicide

Page Six – Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested early Friday on a murder charge in a fatal hit-and-run. Knight was arrested at about 3 a.m. and was being held on $2 million bail, said Sgt. Diane Hecht of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s information office. She said he is being held at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station. Knight had turned himself into authorities early Friday. His attorney said the rap mogul accidentally ran over and killed a friend and injured another man as he fled attackers. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the incident was being investigated as a homicide and that Knight was a person of interest. Earlier Friday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, in a brief statement, said Knight was at the West Hollywood station with his attorney and was being interviewed by homicide detectives. Video provided by ONSCENE.TV showed Knight getting out of a private car at the sheriff’s station and then leisurely walking into the building with companions and others who appeared to be law officers. Officials say that a red pickup truck struck the men in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant. A 55-year-old man died at a hospital and a 51-year-old man was injured but Corina did not immediately know his condition. “We are confident that once the investigation is completed, he will be totally exonerated,” attorney James Blatt said earlier by telephone. Late Thursday, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. John Corina told reporters that the crash occurred around 3 p.m. PST in the parking lot of the restaurant in the Los Angeles-area city of Compton and then the driver took off. “Looks like he drove backwards and struck the victims and drove forwards and struck them again,” Corina said. “The people we talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act,” he said. The Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that two people were in the parking lot when the red pick-up arrived and its driver became involved in an argument with them. “The argument escalated and the driver backed up striking one of the victims. The driver then drove forward driving over both victims,” the sheriff’s statement said. “Various witnesses described the driver as being Marion Suge Knight.”

Nobody has ever kept it realer than Suge Knight. Dude just loves murder and crime and Compton, California. He (probably) killed Tupac. He (probably) killed Biggie. He was convicted of armed robbery and assault with a gun. And somehow, like 25 years later, hes still alive/not in jail. That, my friends, is remarkable. He ate 6 bullets back in August at a club. He has like 10 strikes against him with the law. The fact that Suge Knight was still truckin up until last week is nothing short of miraculous.

Just shocking that the downfall is randomly running over his buddy in the parking lot of a fast food joint. Like, how is this the end of Suge Knight? How does the man who launched Death Row Records, the man who inspired the East Coast West Coast Rivalry, the man who (probably) killed the 2 best rappers of all time, end up finally getting caught for some random shit like this? Dude walked around in plain sight in Compton doing literally whatever he waned to almost 3 decades and like 15 minutes after running over a couple a 50 something dudes he’s sheets. Crazy. Anyway sounds like Suge Knight is most definitely, absolutely fucked, so his Reign of Terror over Southern California is finally done.

PS – I’ve never loved a bigger piece of shit than Suge Knight. He’s legitimately a murdering scumbag piece of shit. Genuinely one of the worst people to walk this earth. And I just love the guy’s whole persona. Cracks me the fuck up. The Source Awards 1995, Never Forget:
