After running over his friend with an SUV last week killing him and injuring another man, Suge Knight was arrested and learned of his fate today getting both murder and attempted murder charges brought against him, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney.
He could face life in state prison if convicted.
The official charges came hours after Knight’s $2.2-million bail was revoked.
L.A. County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida told The Times that Knight’s bail was pulled for the following reasons: “Possible flight risk, three-strike candidate, possible witness intimidation issues and his criminal past.”
Knight, 49, is accused of running over Terry Carter and Cle “Bone” Sloan with his truck.
Carter was killed.
The confrontation began about 3 p.m. 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 is due to make his first court appearance in Compton on Tuesday.
