Brutal surveillance footage of Suge Knight’s deadly January 29 hit-and-run at a Compton burger joint is now online for the world to see—but will it help convict or vindicate the former Death Row Records hip-hop mogul?
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. Three other men also approach as Knight’s truck speeds forward through the Tam’s parking lot, barreling toward its front exit and plowing over a second man, Terry Carter, in the process. The former business associate of Knight’s is said to have been trying to broker peace with him that day. Carter suffered a crushed skull and died from his injuries
The NSFW footage appears to be taken from the Tam’s Burgers drive-thru lane and will be used by both the prosecution and Knight’s defense as evidence in the murder case. Defense attorney David Kenner, a longtime lawyer for Knight and his Death Row Records, previously claimed the video shows evidence of an ambush by armed gunmen that awaited Knight when he pulled up to the scene that afternoon. In TMZ’s edited video, one of the men involved appears to take an
