After many conflicting reports, it has been confirmed that hip hop mogul Suge Knight has been arrested for a hit-and-run homicide in Compton, CA. As the story goes, Knight was visiting the set of the upcoming biopic Straight Outta Compton, when he was involved in a verbal altercation with an unidentified victim. Later, outside a nearby restaurant, Knight struck the victim with his car twice, leaving him for dead. The car was found abandoned, and Knight was brought into custody hours later.
The main reports are coming from TMZ, who are surprisingly accurate with these sorts of situations. They broke the news that Knight was shot six times at Chris Brown’s party back in August.
Details are continuing to surface, but none of them are looking good for Suge Knight, who is now being held on a $2 million bail. The earlier altercation and multiple car strikes certainly seem to implicate Knight, though the story is continuing to develop, and it will be months before Knight is brought to trial.
