Los Angeles County district attorney Jackie Lacey has charged Marion “Suge” Knight with murder and other counts following a fatal hit-and-run in a Compton parking lot last week.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced the news Monday. If convicted, the Death Row Records founder faces up to life in state prison.
Suge Knight: A Timeline of His Legal Troubles
Kight, 49, is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Compton and is currently being held without bail, as he was deemed a flight risk.
The incident occurred last Thursday at a promotional shoot for the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton when, following an altercation, Knight allegedly ran over two men standing in the parking lot with his truck. One of the men — actor Terry Carter — was killed, and the driver fled the scene.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Major Crimes Division is currently investigating the case.
Knight was out on bail in a separate robbery case from last year. He is charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that he committed a serious and violent felony while out on bail in another pending case.
The District Attorney’s complaint also includes use of a deadly weapon and causing great bodily injury allegations. With Knight’s prior convictions, this is a third strike case.
The most talked-about part of Super Bowl XLIX was undoubtedly the decision made by Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to call a passing play on the one-yard line while the team was down four points. The call was so bad people defaced dude’s Wikipedia page. But instead of dwelling on Tom Brady moving up the all-time ranks, we’d rather join the chorus of viewers who, after watching last night’s Katy Perry-headlined Halftime Show, are all in agreement that Missy Elliott needs to make a proper comeback. For real, the world is ready. Don’t believe us, just check iTunes where four of Missy’s albums are back in the top 100.
A quick glance at Twitter showed that we’re all patiently waiting for Misdemeanor’s return.
