Former rap music mogul Suge Knight has been charged with murder and attempted murder in a fatal hit-and-run incident that happened last week.
Knight was accused of running over Terry Carter and Cle 'Bone' Sloan with his truck after an argument in Compton, according to the LA County district attorney, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Carter died, while Sloan was admitted to a local hospital. Knight, 49, could face life in state prison if convicted. The official charges came hours after Knight's USD 2.2 million bail was revoked. He was arrested on Friday.
The confrontation between Knight and the duo began about 3 pm on Thursday when Knight and the victims began arguing on the set of 'Straight Outta Compton', a biopic about the group N W A, said Lt John Corina of the Sheriff's Department's detectives unit.
Knight's attorney, James E Blatt, said his client was being assaulted and, while trying to get away from his attackers, accidentally ran the two men over.
Prosecutors say Knight's actions were intentional. Blatt described Carter as a good friend of Knight who was trying to break up the fight.
