Suge Knight is currently on trial in Los Angeles for murder after the former hip-hop mogul allegedly ran over a man with his SUV back in January. Now, video of the deadly incident has surfaced online, via TMZ, and it’s pretty gruesome.
The footage is believed to be taken from a Tam’s Burgers drive-thru lane, and will be a key component for both sides in Knight’s case.
Via the Daily Beast:
Knight faces life in prison on charges of murder and attempted murder for the fatal incident that went down in broad daylight in connection with a local promo shoot for Universal Pictures’ upcoming N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton.
Obtained by TMZ, the video shows Knight’s red SUV pull up into the rear entrance of Tam’s Burgers, where a man TMZ identifies as victim Cle “Bone” Sloan immediately approaches the driver’s side door. (Sloan, a former affiliate of the L.A. gang the Bloods, was serving as a security guard and location scout on Straight Outta Compton.)
A brief scuffle ensues before Knight backs his truck up out of frame, clipping Sloan with his left mirror and knocking him to the ground.
For more on the ongoing case, the Daily Beast has a thorough recap and update.
