Marion “Suge” Knight faces 28 years in prison after pleading no contest to “running over a man and killing him in a restaurant parking lot three years ago,” according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Knight, 53, is the co-founder of rap label Death Row Records. He agreed to a plea deal that includes “one count of voluntary manslaughter and admitted a special allegation that he used a deadly weapon, a truck,” the DA’s office said.
Before the agreement, Knight had been facing charges of murder and attempted murder.
The charges stem from January of 2015, when, the district attorney’s office says, “an altercation occurred outside a Compton restaurant and Knight ran over two men with his truck.”
The hit-and-run killed Heavyweight Records co-founder Terry Carter, 55, and severely injured filmmaker Cle “Bone” Sloan.
As NPR’s Andrew Flanagan has reported, “Knight is accused of hitting the two men near the set of the Oscar-winning, 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton, and has claimed he was attempting to flee the scene because he feared for his safety.”
At the time, Knight was out on bail in a robbery case; he fled but was later arrested. He’s now scheduled to be formally sentenced on Oct. 4.
