Suge Knight has reportedly turned himself in to authorities.
The former Death Row CEO, was apprehended shortly after midnight, at a West Hollywood police station.
The law offices of James E. Blatt, Knight’s attorney has confirmed to HipHopDX that its client Marion “Suge” Knight was involved in the hit-and-run incident that killed Terry Carter.
Additional details have been sparse.
According to TMZ, Knight was in an altercation with two men at Tam’s Burgers, near the 1200 block of West Rosecrans Avenue.
The celebrity gossip site also reports that while attempting to leave the scene following the fight, Knight jumped into his car and ran over Carter, who was attempting to get into the vehicle with Knight. Carter was later pronounced dead.
The other victim’s condition is unknown.
Law officials are reportedly approaching this case as a homicide.
But Knight’s lawyer has told reporters the incident was unintentional and that his client feared for his life. Blatt assured TMZ that the murder charge will not be filed because Suge was acting in self defense.
Knight is being held on suspicion of murder in the fatal accident. His bail has been set at $2 million.
ABC 7 Eyewitness News tweeted a picture of Knight arriving at the police station below:

yo this is so crazy, a few days ago I saw a new video where Lord Jamar said “they” ain’t gonna stop until Suge is either dead or in jail.
Well if lord Jamal said it then it must be true!!!!!!…..NOT……this dude continues to break the law, participates in criminal activity and acts like an asshole to everyone……not conspiracy needed here…..this isn’t profiling…..it’s not cause he’s black…..it’s cause he’s scum
Not to mention an informant. I mean, how many times can this guy get away with stuff?
this NIGGA needs to hang from his feet and cut his throat and leave him until he drys out nicely 🙂 fuck SUGE
FREE SUGE!
CHRISTOPHER HARRIS CAN GO KILL HERSELF
Publicity stunt to pimp the dogshit movie, zzzzzzzzz.
fool, Suge was trying to run up on Dr. Dre & IceCube on the NWA movie set and was too dumb to realise Dre got them Ex Navy SEAL security. had Suge running like he was playing football again when they started dumping on him!
Suge is a toxic piece of filth that needs to be deported to some desolate island or remote landmass where he can’t hurt other people directly or indirectly like he has done for the majority of his pathetic life. Death and ruin follows this sick man wherever he goes and a cloud of negativity hangs over his head like a guillotine. RIP to the fallen brother who became another victim of Suge Knight.
Shut the fuck up sellout
Maybe I’m the only one, but I love reading Suge articles. It’s funny how a nigga go from one of the most dangerous guys in the industry to a laughable loser punching bag.
^^Nope, you’re not the only one. He’s just bad luck in the flesh.
Just one of these events Suge been through would have changed my life forever now I can’t imagine going through as many as he has.
