Just under two weeks after the incident itself, video of a deadly hit-and-run committed by Suge Knight has apparently surfaced and sources close to the label boss claim it shows him being threatened at gunpoint ahead of the incident.
According to USA Today, Knight’s lawyer claims that a surveillance video shows “an ambush” on Suge before he struck two men with his truck, killing one.
David Kenner, Knight’s lawyer in the hit-and-run case as well as in a separate robbery case stemming from a confrontation with a female paparazzo that also involved Katt Williams in Beverly Hills in September, told USA Today that the footage will help mount a defense in the murder, attempted murder, and hit-and-run charges.
According to TMZ, the man in the video pointing a gun at Knight is Cle “Bone” Sloan, one of the men who was run over. The site also reports that footage shows someone removing the gun from the scene following the hit-and-run. Still, contrary to Kenner’s statement, TMZ cites law enforcement sources as saying that the video will be used as a part of the prosecution.
After pleading not guilty to all charges, Knight is currently being held without bail.

RIP 2pac
did you type that cuz you think simon says snitch had him killed? cuz he didn’t…
i told yall he might walk if it was self defense and he was in fear for his life
Damn all you niggas praying for this mans downfall should be ashsamed of yourself.
how the brrruck do you defend this dude? you should be ashamed of yourself.
i could see you possibly taking the angle of “it’s america, everyone is entitled to due process in a court of law.” but to want suge anywhere but a cell makes no sense whatsoever
We both know Suge killed a lot of people. And I don’t mean 2Pac or Biggie or even Vanilla Ice. No one should wish harm on another human being unless you are in a position to do something yourself. And that would constitute sending death threats. So just keep your mouth shut.
Said this when it happened, LA DA is reaching on this one. Maybe they could have charged him with manslaughter, but nobody is convicting him on a murder charge, and now he’s going to walk on the whole thing as soon as anyone sees somebody flashing a gun at him in public.
ALL YOU DAMN IDIOTS WISHING THIS MAN DOWN FALL. SUGE DID MORE FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THAN ANY OF YA’LL. WANT TO WISH SOMEBODY DOWN FALL,WISH COPS DOWN FALL. THIS MAN DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO TO GET AWAY ALIVE. IF ANY OF YOU WAS IN A SITUATION HOPEFULLY YOUR PUNK ASSES WOULD DO THE SAME, OR BE KILLED..
*edit: JIMMY IOVENE AND DR DRE DID MORE FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THAN ANY OF YA’LL
